Did you know
- TriviaThe scene where Emma (Etienne Eckert) hysterically tells Aimee's mother that she's missing was shot in one take by Richard Rossi with a hand-held camera because Eckert had just suffered an accident, injuring her ankle. Rossi cleaned her wounds and blood with hydrogen peroxide and suggested she put her hysteria into the scene. The bandage can be seen on her ankle.
- GoofsWhen the D.A. gives his opening statement in Sister Aimee's trial, there is a large map on the wall behind him that clearly says, "Kern County, California." Her trial took place in Los Angeles County. Richard Rossi was given free use of a courthouse in Bakersfield (Kern County) by a judge who was kindly disposed toward the project and allowed free shooting on a Saturday.

Featured review
Cuts to the Soul!
Richard Rossi has produced a captivating spiritual film that cuts right into your soul and challenges our traditional stereotypes of religious leaders. I admire his perseverance in making this beautiful movie and it was compeling that he showed several facets of Aimee including, preacher, daughter, mother, wife and being human. Rossi portrays Ms. McPhearson with godly fire, passion and an unyielding love for God, but at the same time showing sensual,tender, sad and confused human emotions which all of us have experienced in one way or another. "Aimee Semple McPhearson" was touching, moving and caused me to weep in some parts of the movie. GREAT movie with various twists!
