Eddie Long was electrifying. The James Brown of southern evangelism, in less than 25 years, he took a fledgling congregation of 300 and built it into a global mega-church of 25 thousand in the upper-middle-class African American suburbs of Atlanta, with a TV audience of millions more. He also campaigned vigorously against gay rights. And drew hundreds of fatherless boys to one of the most respected community centers in the south. Then four young followers accused him of sexual abuse that took place in luxury hotels across America and as far away as New Zealand and Kenya. As a potentially multi-million dollar settlement is thrashed out behind the closed doors of lawyers and judges, the question now is, will there be a Second Coming for the disgraced pastor? Or has he arrived at his Day of Reckoning? A rich and revelatory documentary.
