"20/20" also features interviews with filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. They discussed their documentary, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," that they filmed with Tammy Faye 12 years after the collapse of "PTL" which is now the inspiration for the upcoming feature film of the same name, starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield.
