About the Movie…
SYNOPSIS: In the margins of the United States, there lives a revolutionary Christianity. One with a quiet disposition that seeks to do “small things with great love,” and in so doing is breaking 21st Century stereotypes surrounding this 2000 year old faith. “The Ordinary Radicals” is set against thie modern American political and social backdrop of the next Great Awakening. Traveling across the United States on a tour to promote the book “Jesus for President”, Shane Claiborne and a rag-tag group of “ordinary radicals” interpret Biblical history and its correlation with the current state of American politics. Sharing a relevant outlook for people with all faith perspectives, director Jamie Moffett examines this growing movement.

As Shane Claiborne and Chris Haw write in the book, “This is not a set of political suggestions for the world; this is about invoking and embodying the alternative. All of this is an invitation to join a peculiar people- those with no king but God, who practice jubilee economics and make the world new. This is not the old-time religion of going to heaven; this is about bringing heaven to the world.”

Featuring Interviews with: Becky Garrison, Shane Claiborne, Jim Wallis, Brian McLaren, Tony Campolo, Rob Bell, John Perkins, Brooke Sexton, Michael Heneise, St. Margret Mckenna, Logan Laituri, Zack Exley, Aaron Weiss and many more Ordinary Radicals.

About the Blog…
So picture the movie described above having a blog. Well this is it. This is going to be the place where we communicate with the world all the goings on with the film making process. Pre-production, post-production, middle-production?… it’s all gonna be here. It’s also a place to facilitate discussions on some of the many topics that the film addresses. We’ll address faith, politics, and the ever-changing society that is America these days, and we want YOU to join in on the dialog. So please, join us as we journey across the USA and learn more about what it means to be a Christian in America (and leave lots of comments!).

About the Director…
Hi, I am Jamie Moffett. As someone who doesn’t identify as Christian, I’ve been fortunate to have an unusually close perspective on people who aren’t the “Creepy Christians” secular folk have come to stereotype. Trust me, I’ve come across people who do things I find pretty sad in the name of their God. The people I invite you to meet are certainly unusual, but amazing & inspiring!

Check out the trailer, look around, pre-order a DVD or tickets to the theatrical release — and most of all: please spread the word!

So many thanks.
