The story behind Machine Gun Preacher is inspiring: Sam Childers traded criminal activity for a life attempting to rescue children in Sudan who would otherwise be co-opted into warfare by the Lord’s Resistance Army. But the movie that dramatises Sam Childers’ story — Gerard Butler stands in for Childers, with a seemingly unstable accent — looks like total by the numbers superficial claptrap. He finds… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 19/08/2011 19:00 Number of articles : 2

The last time we saw footage from Texas Killing Fields, we were looking at a trailer dubbed into Italian [1].
