Marjoe / Thoth
'Marjoe' - A fascinating Oscar-winning documentary on Marjoe Gortner, child firebrand evangelist of the '50s and '60s who wholeheartedly and humourously exposed himself as a fraud. Now an adult involved in film acting and speaking to groups about his childhood, Gortner tells how he used his charisma to turn people into followers and willing 'contributors' to his crusades. 'Thoth' - An extraordinary chronicle of a unique personality and fantastic character who performs one-man operas in a strange language on the streets of New York.
