Here is the press release:

Afilm about a conspiracy of faith in the margins of empire

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 the 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.'
