This is a horrible trailer - horrible. First thing, the music. Does anyone actually listen to music like this? Ten seconds in and I was wanting to claw my ears off.
The point of a trailer is to market the film, to give you a reason to see the production. Often this is done by explaining to the viewer what you're going to see. This trailer is nothing more than a meaningless slide show. All this tells us is that Blessitt picked up a cross and thanks to him history happened.
For those who don't know, Arthur Blessitt literally carried the cross to all of the nations of the world. It took him forty years and he holds the Guinness World Record for the longest walk. He also holds the record for "least practical mission".
The guy probably has some interesting stories. You can't walk around the world and come up short on anecdotes. This trailer looks more like a warning than an advertisement however.
Regarding the final shots of the trailer. Barack Obama is not the answer to MLK's dream, he's the answer to FDR's dream. The election of a clearly unqualified black man doesn't mean we're a color-blind society. When a qualified black man or woman can run for President and lose without there being an uproar, then the dream has come.
