Machine Gun Preacher, The Sam Childers Story

Sam Childers, the real Machine Gun Preacher, shares his story in this interview when he Recently came to Chicago to help promote the new Hollywood Movie "Machine Gun Preacher", starring Gerard Butler, who plays him, Sam Childers in the film.

Machine Gun Preacher is the inspirational true story of Sam Childers, a former drug-dealing criminal who undergoes an astonishing transformation and finds an unexpected calling as the savior of hundreds of kidnapped and orphaned children. Gerard Butler (300) 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, Finding Neverland) moving story of violence and redemption.

When ex-biker-gang member Sam Childers (Butler) makes the life-changing decision to go to East Africa to help repair homes destroyed by civil war, he is outraged by the unspeakable horrors faced by the region's vulnerable populace, especially the children. Ignoring the warnings of more experienced aide workers, Sam breaks ground for an orphanage where it's most needed—in the middle of territory controlled by the brutal Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), a renegade militia that forces youngsters to become soldiers before they even reach their teens.

oh btw, the whole fight in the middle east, has nothing to do with Oil, that was somthing started by idiot hippies & democratic fucktards that wanted to stir up anger with voters against GWB during the 2004 presidential elections. if you did your research , you would know that the USA is actually the 3rd leading producer of oil in the world, right behind Saudi Arabia and Russia, which are both our allies. Sam Childers is a great man for his deeds, but they are only minor deeds

First off Sam Childers is a good man and has done good things, However that being said, his actions havnt made much of a diffrence in Africa. Out of the 5,500 children that die in South and East Africa every day, Sam only has saved around 1,000 of them. 2nd Africa is no threat to the world, only to itself, countries that have nuclear abilities are, so America consentrates there efforts to stop them first.

Epic.

[thepartizan1987]

Sam Childers, your actions will echoed down in history!

[thepartizan1987]

This goes to all Americans who thinks they are fighting for freedom in the middle east. Machine gun preacher is fighting for freedom and to stop genocide in Afrika. Why doesnt your government help this guy with troops or money? you know why? there is no oil there and no profit.
