The trailer of The Eyes of Tammy Faye featuring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield was recently released. The movie is based on a documentary of the same name and the story revolves around the life of Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker. The movie is scheduled to release on September 17.

The Eyes of Tammy Faye's trailer opens with a young Tammy Faye and Jim Bakker as they visit her mother and Tammy introduces Jim as her husband. Then the trailer takes the audience on the journey of the different ventures that Tammy and Jim tried during their career as media personalities. The trailer shows Jim and Tammy hosting puppet shows, hosting parties, Tammy trying her luck in singing. It is also shown how Tammy Faye always spoke about her opinion regardless of who is in front of her. Then the trailer shows how the couple moves to television and then open their own Christian theme park Heritage USA.

The trailer of the movie then takes a turn and introduces the audience to the problems and complications that arise after Tammy and Jim’s success. There is a moment when Tammy asks, “We aren’t doing anything wrong though?” and Jim scoffs and replies, “Is that a question?” Tammy and Jim find themselves in the middle of fraud allegations. We see that Tammy’s mother warns her that she has been following Bakker blindly. The tension between the couple increases and Tammy starts following her heart and talking about HIV/AIDS and reaches out to people who need help. Tammy sums up the trailer at the end by saying, “This is who I am.”
