Set in America and Uganda, but shot largely in South Africa, this is the true story of Sam Childers (Gerard Butler), who lived a life of violent crime.
The death of a buddy led Childers to undergo a Christian conversion and he became a solid citizen for a few years.
After hearing a sermon from a missionary, he decided to travel to the Sudan, with a team of helpers, to re-build villages, schools and churches for victims who had suffered under the brutality of the Lord's Resistance Army, a ruthless militia. But as soon as Childers built them, the rebels burned them down.
