Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: The Reverend Steve Pieters on how he overcame two forms of cancer and a nearly fatal reaction to the experimental AIDS drug suramin in 1985 by developing his own wellness program (which included healthy dosages of I LOVE LUCY every day); how the fear and paranoia surrounding COVID-19 today is not unlike the stigma he faced in the 1980s when he was first diagnosed with HIV/AIDS; and how the television interview he gave to evangelist Tammy Faye Bakker in 1985 changed his life, and hers as well. Steve’s interview with Bakker is part of the backdrop of THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE, a new film starring Jessica Chastain that opens nationally on Friday 9/17
