Bernie Hoffman's dream was to strike it rich as a Hollywood star when God called on him to preach the gospel. Changing his name to Tony Alamo, he started a popular Hollywood ministry, TV, and radio programs together with his wife Susan.
1969 gründet Tony Alamo die „Alamo Christian Foundation“. Durch die Ausbeutung der Mitglieder wird er zum Millionär. Tonys schlimmste Verbrechen kommen erst 2009 vor Gericht.
