Bentley reached the peak of his success while leading a 136-day, Florida-based revival attended by hundreds of thousands of followers who believed Bentley could heal the sick and raise the dead. This is the story of a preacher you have to see to believe.

Inside The Statue Wars
Saloon Media
1 x 60' HD
For some, historical figures are great heroes and nation builders. But for a growing legion of others, they are imperialists, racists, and criminals. INSIDE THE STATUE WARS delves into a fascinating, high stakes battle being waged over public memorials and statues. From Indigenous protestors tearing down a statue of Queen Victoria, to students threatening to walk out of schools named after these historical figures, to civic and business leaders spending millions to re-name streets, brands, and buildings, we are living through a momentous re-evaluation of our past. Is it a long overdue reckoning or an over-reaction? Are we rebalancing the narrative to reach a more inclusive future, or is this an activist approach to history in the age of cancel culture?
