comment |
Miracles For Sale is an hour-long Derren Brown special broadcast by Channel 4 in April 2011. It takes the rough form of a documentary exposing the US faith healing industry by training an everyman to mimic their tricks. It's not a neutral or balanced investigation by any means, and evokes a lot of Religion Tropes. |
