Story
is a notorious American pastor and television preacher who hosts the Festival of Faith television show. In this program, not only his sermons and musical numbers on religious themes sound. In it, he makes fun of his many enemies, including government officials who constantly threaten him with the deprivation of the right to broadcast and the courts for tax evasion. The central place in the program is occupied by hours-long tele-marathons to raise money, during which Scott can behave very aggressively, bringing down on the audience streams of accusations. The film contains not only footage from the television show, but also excerpts from interviews with Scott and his parents.
