Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This video features Ted Koppel, host of the television series Nightline, who presents an investigative report on the phenomenon of televangelism. Some television evangelists, able to reach millions of people, were reported to be more interested in the financial stakes than in saving souls.
