Historia

Tamara Faye "Tammy" Messner (née LaValley; March 7, 1942 – July 20, 2007), formerly Tammy Faye Bakker, was an American Christian singer, evangelist, entrepreneur, author, talk show host, and television personality. She initially gained notice for her work with The PTL Club, a televangelist program she co-founded with her husband Jim Bakker in 1974. Prior to founding The PTL Club, they had hosted their own puppet show series for local programming in Minnesota in the early 1970s, and Messner also had a career as a recording artist. In 1978, she and Bakker built Heritage USA, a Christian theme park. Messner would garner significant publicity when Jim Bakker was indicted, convicted, and imprisoned on numerous counts of fraud and conspiracy in 1989, resulting in the dissolution of The PTL Club. After divorcing Bakker in 1992, she remarried to Roe Messner. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996, of which she suffered intermittently for over a decade before dying of the disease in 2007. Over the course of her career, Messner was noted for her eccentric and glamorous persona, as well as for her moral views that diverged from those of many mainstream Evangelists, particularly her acceptance of the LGBT community and reaching out to HIV/AIDS patients at the height of the AIDS epidemic.

El candidato

Narra la campaña presidencial del senador estadounidense Gary Hart, que tuvo lugar en 1988, momento en el que los medios de comunicación difundieron un escandaloso romance extramatrimonial del político. Tras perder la candidatura democrática contra Walter Mondale en 1984, Gary Hart (Jackman) hizo un regreso triunfal a la candidatura a Presidente en 1987, en un momento en que su partido estaba desesperado por arrebatarle el poder a los republicanos después de dos mandatos de Reagan. Hart tenía todo para él: inteligencia, carisma y experiencia como abogado, director de campaña y senador, sin mencionar a una Primera Dama ideal en su adorable esposa Lee (Farmiga). Pero todo comienza a desmoronarse cuando corre la voz de que Hart es un mujeriego, un rumor seguido rápidamente por informes de que ha tenido una aventura con Donna Rice (Sara Paxton).

No one would accuse director Anthony Thomas of presenting an unbiased view of religious fundamentalism in this film, which won a Special Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Intent on exposing what he perceives to be a dangerous connection between the religious and political right, Thomas interviews born-again Christians and then directs his lens on Heritage USA, the religious complex established by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
