The true story of Sam Childers, ( played by Gerard Butler) a former drug-dealing biker tough guy who found God and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who've been forced to become soldiers. The film was shot on location in the USA and South Africa. Tshegofatso (Junior) Magale from Take 10 was cast from many hopefulls as the lead boy - William whose mother and father have been killed and he goes in search for his younger brother. Sam Childers recues him and takes him under his wing. It is a truly moving story and Tshegofatso's sensitive and brilliant acting will bring anyone to tears. Machine Gun Preacher was released in South Africa in January 2012.
Take 10 also had 4 other featured boys- Sebo Moabelo ( child sniper) Mulweli Muofhe (13yrs), Ikegang Mogatusi (12yrs) and Lebogang Phosoko ( orphaned children).
