THE TRUE STORY OF A REFUGEE’S FLIGHT TO FREEDOM



War Child is an unflinching look at the horrors of human abuse and war—and how those horrors continue to twist and shape the lives of refugees long after they escape their own country’s conflicts.

This story tells the true events of one young man’s courageous flight from injustice in West Africa, where he fell victim to violence at the hands of his father, only to be captured by marauding rebel troops then held prisoner of a supposedly enlightened Western society.

During his struggle for freedom, Ray encounters institutional racism and individual hatred, and falls further through the cracks of the global community. As Ray begins to lose his sense of self and reality, he is brought to the brink of madness—where no national army can rescue him. What saves him instead is his unshakable faith in the most universal of human emotions: love.
