Sister Aimee tells the life story Aimee McPherson, the controversial evangelist who was instrumental in bringing conservative Protestantism into mainstream culture. During her emotional revivals McPherson performed healings that drew bigger crowds than those of P.T. Barnum or Houdini. Through interviews with historians and scholars this program presents a revealing portrait of one of the most significant religious figures of the 20th century.
