Machine Gun Preacher

A gut-wrenching, inspirational, ire-inducing, eye-opening, violent, factually inspired film about ex-con, born-again-Christian, construction business owner Sam Childers (Gerard Butler) who leaves his wife (Michelle Monaghan), daughter (Madeline Carroll), mother (Kathy Baker), and best friend (Michael Shannon) in Pennsylvania in 2003 to travel to war-torn Africa where he is befriended by a freedom fighter (Souleymane Sy Savane), and when he learns first-hand the horrific plight and desperate need of orphaned, tortured, hungry children in southern Sudan and northern Uganda, he builds an orphanage that changes all of their lives.
