is a 1989 televangelism comedy film directed by Lindsay Anderson and starring Ellen Greene that originally aired on HBO in two parts.
When the father finds a more skilled (and less honest) talent agent to promote his act, he severes all ties with his son.
The son has the idea to turn a female rock and roll singer into the televangelist and faith healer Sister Ruth.
Investigative reporters find out that Ruth had an abortion, and a church leader uses the information to blackmail her.
Everything changes when the son wanders into a bar and witnesses the performance of a woman rock and roll singer.
At first, sister Ruth, the rock and roll singer, takes the job as a means for fame and money.
She uses the church for drugs and eventually has a sexual relationship with the preacher's son named Bobby Joe.
At the end everybody comes out and hold hands with the main stars, even Jesus Christ and Bobby Joe's dead father.
