    • Synopsis
    • This mesmerizing documentary tells the story of Joshua Milton Blahyi, a brutal African warlord turned Christian evangelist preacher. Apparently having renounced his violent past as an infamous butcher, Blahyi sets out on a crusade to rebuild the lives of those he brutalized, reconnect with the soldiers he abandoned, and answer for his sins at the War Crimes Tribunal. A shocking cinema vérité portrait that shakes your understanding of justice, forgiveness, and the power of charismatic leadership.
