While filming in El Salvador last month, director Jamie Moffett unintentionally came across the mysterious disappearance and murder of anti-mining environmental activist Marcelo Rivera. Rivera's murder coincides with Canadian mining company Pacific Rim's lawsuit against the government of El Salvador for interrupting their plans to establish a gold mine in the impoverished San Isidro area. The government and activists like Rivera are concerned that the proposed mine would contaminate San Isidro's already limited water supply. These environmental and human rights concerns have fueled severe resistance in the community against Pacific Rim and their practices.
After hearing the story of Rivera's torture and death that carried strong implications of a death squad killing, Jamie felt obligated to bring the details to public awareness. He filmed a seven-minute video detailing Pacific Rim's exploitation of the Salvadoran people, Rivera's brutal murder, and the connection between the two. We ask you to watch this important video and join our cause by contacting your local representatives and asking them to demand a full investigation into Rivera's death. Watch the video below:

We're so happy to offer the exciting new documentary "The Ordinary Radicals" for order online! Help us tell this very important story about faith in America through the lens of director Jamie Moffett.
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 1: Heaven & Earth -- $12.00
This chapter of “The Ordinary Radicals: Special Topics” explores the historical development of the new movement towards justice-centered faith. Shane Claiborne, Tony Campolo, Brian McLaren, and others offer perspectives on the witness of the early Church, the social context surrounding the rise of fundamentalism, the emergence of a new understanding of a social gospel, and the construction of a new cross-denominational vision of unity for today’s church.
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 2: Poverty PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
In the face of rampant global inequalities, many have claimed that religion is at its best a pacifier and at its worst a further exploiter of the oppressed. How is an emerging body of Christians responding to financial and educational disparities, homelessness, as well as the cultural drift toward spectacular prosperity, at home and abroad?
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 3: Community PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
Resistance to any set of cultural norms is near impossible alone. This set of interviews compares the stories and lessons (some easy, some hard) of many individuals deeply connected with diverse forms of intentional community.
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 4: Government PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
Twenty-First century politics confronts the thoughtful follower of Christ with a million contradictions and dilemmas. How might Christians begin disentangling themselves from idolatry of Caesar while staying critically engaged with the forces of systemic injustice that oppress millions?
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 5: Peacemaking PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
American Christianity is attempting to come to terms with a period in which it became identified almost exclusively with a nationalistic agenda. What does it mean to be a peacemaker in this context? How might a Christian navigate the stormy waters of violent conflict among people and nations, either in their personal or political life?
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 6: Racial Reconciliation PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
Americans have had civil rights for over forty years: Workplaces and schools have largely been integrated. But the churches, by and large have not integrated. And yet, we claim that the gospel breaks down the dividing walls in humanity. John Perkins, Lisa Sharon Harper and a series of other voices lead a superficially "colorblind" and confused church into a difficult yet hopeful investigation of the biblical vision of reconciliation among the races.
The Ordinary Radicals Special Topics Vol. 7: Creation Care PRE-ORDER -- $12.00
The whole of creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Is the gospel good news for humans alone or does God's shalom indeed extend hope to the whole interdependent web of creation? Farmer and author Brian Walsh and Christian environmental activist Peter Illyn take the lead in a conversation that attempts to free Christians from an often embarrassingly small view of God's redemption.
jaime... two things... im really ready to see the dang movie man! I keep getting calls from people in orlando and kc that saw it haha... and I really need to get with you to set up a screening in charleston wv!
I'm pretty stoked about the documentary. As soon as the DVD arrives I plan on getting a bunch of folks together in my living room to eat popcorn (or their choice of whatever is in my cupboards at the time) and watch a bunch of ordinary radicals tell their tales.
Shane Claiborne's The Irresistible Revolution kinda changed my life...actually, it completely changed my life. I never knew Christians could be so...real. I began following Christ about a week after reading that book. I'm hoping that with this movie I will be able to show my non-Christian friends, as well as my Christian friends, that being a follower of Christ is not exactly what they may think it is.
Thanks for the add. I wish you a blessed day as you serve our LORD in simplicity and truth. WE are the church not the four walls of a building . We must practice pure religion and not neglect those in need , I pray for change. thanks for what you all do.
Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
We have to get the word out that Phil Gramm will never be one of President John McCain's economic advisers. People need to hear that only seasoned veterans, like those who helped me create the present Bush economic miracle, will be advising. This is vitally important because most Americans feel McCain lacks the economic savvy to manage an ATM card and they are real right on that.
From the blog all about on political hacks betraying democracy!
Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
Just were does this Wesley Clark get off talking about John McCain’s Vietnam experience not being relevant to him being our next President. Clark is nothing but an ignorant old Army general: he doesn’t know anything about the fine art of fighter piloting. I do, that’s because I was a Vietnam era fighter pilot just like John. We fighter pilots see things from high up and we can make decisions from way off the ground. We both learned to plan policy from far, far away. John McCain because of his fighter piloting knowledge will be every bit as good a President as I have been, well maybe not every bit. I am a wee bit better. I didn’t let myself get shot down like old John did.
Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
I don’t know were John McCain gets these people, guys like his so called top strategist Charlie Black. The guy is a buffoon, a clown, worse. I know about clownish buffoonery and I know Black took one of the best things my Administration could do to help elect McCain right off the table. All the dirty tricks we have been brainstorming around with will all backfire on us now, windup hurting our Republican cause, not helping like they would have before this blockhead Black shot his damn mouth off about how some terrorism would assure a McCain victory.
