A true American Experience: Sister Aimee

This DVD contains a video directly copied from the PBS “American Experience” program S19.E10. Episode aired Apr 2, 2007 This is a well-balanced documentary narrated by Blair Brown. Even if you know the whole story, you will find something you missed in this presentation. For people who only know the name Aimee Semple McPherson (October 9, 1890 - September 27, 1944), you will get the whole story of the life of Aimee Elizabeth Kennedy, a farm girl from Salford, Ontario, Canada, and her extraordinary life's journey. According to Aimee, Miracles are still possible. I was born too late to meet her. However, I grew up in the Foursquare Church with neighbors and friends. I never thought of it as unique, but was amazed when I moved from California to Texas and found one here. Anyway, this is part of all our cultural history and needs to be watched. For those interested in Los Angeles politics, there are interesting insights into its workings. The presentation shows actual photos and movie dramatizations. We get to see this in a sound bite mode, so as Aimee grows up, each presenter gets to say one line or two at each milestone. The only drawback is that you can only say so much in this brief period.
