Coyote vs. Acme

Directed by: Dave Green
Studio: Ketchup Entertainment

After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery, he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes.

Born on an Oklahoma farm, Father Stanley Rother left to serve the Indigenous Tz’utujil people of Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, during the country’s brutal civil war. Immersing himself in the life of the community, he learned their language, shared their suffering, helped translate the New Testament into Tz’utujil and became a beloved spiritual father to the people he served. As violence and persecution closed in, Father Stan became convinced that “the shepherd cannot run,” and he returned to Guatemala from the U.S. knowing it could cost him his life. Only months later, masked gunmen broke into his rectory and murdered him. “American Martyr” reveals the witness of Blessed Stanley, whose courage, sacrificial love and unwavering faith continue to inspire audiences around the world.
