Machine Gun Preacher

Butler plays Sam Childers in the biographical drama, Machine Gun Preacher. The film follows Childers from his early life as a drug dealing biker, to finding God, and to eventually saving thousands of Sudanese people from the Lord’s Resistance Army. Co-starring Michelle Monaghan and Michael Shannon.

Jason Keller has written an astonishing script, taking us through this man’s life, so that we understand what made him the kind of guy who could end up in Africa and say, ‘you know what… I don’t like what’s going on here.’
