About the film
The Trials of Ted Haggard is a documentary film made by Alexandra Pelosi, following disgraced pastor Ted Haggard. According to HBO, the film is a follow-up to Pelosi's 2007 HBO film Friends of God, which starred Haggard as the head of the National Association of Evangelicals. Pelosi returns to talk with 'Pastor Ted' about his fall from grace.
The New York Times called it "strangely intriguing" because "The film doesn't merely document Mr. Haggard's fall from grace, it also tracks the pathology of his attempt at a comeback. It's a cautionary tale for disgraced public figures; for viewers it's a master class in the art of self-serving remorse and hubris dressed up as humility."
