Very good and impartial 26 minute biography of Aimee, narrarated by actress Gina Rowlands. Interviews with her daughter and son, and includes 1926 "kidnapping" and subsequent scandal. Aimee was a kind woman, non-judgemental and talented, who welcomed all sinners to her church, fed the hungry but was also lonely, at times troubled and herself a sinner. From youtube:

"Sister Aimee" 2 really excellent vids, and the 26 minute bio is great. Very fair, both Aimee's pluses and minuses and great interviews. You will feel you know her after watching it. I will also post some new topics in the next day or two, including the famous 1920s trials of Clarence Darrow (Scopes, Leopold-Loeb, etc.).
