It stars Mike Koch, David Schultz, Wolfgang Bodison, James Kyson and Mitch Mcvicker.

In addition, the producers are working on a second documentary film that contains footage they shot during the research phase of the movie. I’m looking forward to it as well – especially with interviews from Brennan Manning and other close friends and family members of Rich Mullins.
