Duvall\u2019s extraordinary career includes unforgettable performances in The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Tender Mercies.&amp;nbsp;   His cult film classics include THX 1138, The Killer Elite, Colors, and Falling Down.  Yet it was The Apostle \u2014 Duvall\u2019s passion project \u2014 that may stand as his most intimate and fearless work. In the film, he portrays Euliss F. \u201cSonny\u201d Dewey, a Pentecostal preacher battling inner demons who, after committing murder, flees to Louisiana and reinvents himself as \u201cThe Apostle E.F.,\u201d and builds a multiracial church.  Longtime listeners know the very special place  \u201cBobby D\u201d and The Apostle hold in the history of this show and in Chauncey\u2019s own life journey.  For this celebration of life and remembrance, Chauncey is joined by the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance. A leading advocate for civil rights and religious freedom, they reflect on Duvall\u2019s embodiment of The Apostle E.F., the film\u2019s portrayal of charismatic Christian traditions, the power of faith, and its meditation(s) on the color line and our shared humanity and life journeys.  Together, they consider the meaning of Chauncey DeVega\u2019s and The Apostle E.F.\u2019s \u201choly ghost walks\u201d \u2014 and how our bodies can become sites of freedom, resistance, and power in dark and oppressive times.  On this episode of the podcast, Chauncey also shares his thoughts about Trump\u2019s war of choice against Iran, our political vertigo and the worsening disaster.   WHERE CAN YOU FIND ME?
