Trivia:
Richard Rossi was offered the lead in a remake of Elmer Gantry (1960) but decided the 1960 film was a classic that should not be remade. Since Elmer Gantry (1960) was inspired by Aimee McPherson, he decided to do the true historical story and focus on Aimee McPherson as the lead.

Goofs:
Errors in geography: When the D.A. gives his opening statement in Sister Aimee's trial, there is a large map on the wall behind him that clearly says, "Kern County, California." Her trial took place in Los Angeles County. Richard Rossi was given free use of a courthouse in Bakersfield (Kern County) by a judge who was kindly disposed toward the project and allowed free shooting on a Saturday.

I just saw at industry screening in Hollywood, and Rossi's question and answer time was as interesting and compelling as this powerful film. This film about faith was made on faith, often Rossi showed up on set trusting someone would show up with film, food or whatever he needed. In each case, people would arrive saying, "God told me to bring you food, props, film, cameras." It is the most astonishing tale of a low budget project miraculously coming together since "El Mariachi."
There's more info on this at the film's official website, www.aimeesemplemcphersonmovie.com
Rossi's honesty about his life and personal struggles was equally moving. He made this movie because he had to, and that kind of love and vulnerability is why this film is so deeply effective in creating sympathy for the lead character.
