Rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) may live in 19th century Arizona, but he's leading a 20th century - or sub-prime - sort of life. He's behind on his mortgage payments to the big landowner, who wants the property back in order to sell it on the Internet - oops, sorry, to the railroad. Dan's cattle herd is also dwindling, one of his kids is sick and the other thinks he's a coward. Even his patient wife is beginning to eye him dubiously.

Ethiopia is a proud nation, the only place in Africa never to be colonized and a place with a civilization that dates back as far as ancient Egypt. Christianity flourished in Ethiopia before it took hold in Europe, and it was a Christian king of Ethiopia who gave shelter to the first Muslims in 615 A.D. after they were thrown out of Saudi Arabia as heretics - as a result, in the Koran, Mohammed tells all Muslims that they must respect...
