The Eyes of Tammy Faye is a 2021 American biographical drama film directed by Michael Showalter based on the documentary of the same name. The film depicts the controversial history of televangelists Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker, portrayed by Jessica Chastain (who also produces the film) and Andrew Garfield, respectively. (wiki)

The film had been a passion project of Chastain‘s for a number of years before it ended up being made. She had seen the documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2000) around 2012 and felt drawn to tell Tammy’s story after acquiring the rights to produce a biopic about the infamous televangelist.
