Machine Gun Preacher tells the inspirational true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing criminal who undergoes an astonishing transformation and finds his unexpected calling as the savoir of hundreds of kidnapped and orphaned children in war-torn Sudan.

Gerard Butler (300, Coriolanous) delivers a searing performance as Childers, the impassioned founder of the Angels of East Africa rescue organization in Golden Globe-nominated director Marc Forster’s (Monster’s Ball, The Kite Runner) moving story of violence and redemption.
