Machine Gun Preacher

A reformed criminal and former drug user embraces Christianity before traveling to war-torn East Africa. There, he works to build a refuge for children threatened by armed groups, while his increasingly dangerous mission strains his family, faith, and sense of right and wrong.

My take

You may appreciate this if you enjoy intense true-story dramas about flawed heroes and moral conflict, but Not for you if graphic violence, religious messaging, or questionable savior narratives are difficult to watch.
