Actor Neal McDonough says a biblical view of humanity and forgiveness holds the key to healing the world and spreading more love and light. McDonough portrays a small-town mayor in the upcoming film Guns & Moses (PG-13), which tells the story of a rabbi who fights back and searches for the truth after the Jewish community is violently attacked. It launches in theaters on July 18
