The film aims to show Tammy Faye Bakker was not the villain the media portrayed her to be.
Steve's interview is now recreated in a new film starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield called 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye,' which is released in theaters tomorrow. 'Tammy Faye decided that she wanted to be the first televangelist to interview a gay man with AIDS,' Pieters shared with On The Red Carpet's Karl Schmid for an exclusive interview with Plus Life. In 1985, three years into his HIV diagnosis and after having a near-death experience, Steve was invited to appear on the then Praise The Lord Network, otherwise known as PTL, which was run by Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.
