Stephen Dillane is British journalist Michael Henderson who decides to risk everything to help the innocent people of a besieged city. With support from the flamboyant 'star' American journalist Flynn (Woody Harrelson) and aid worker Nina (Marisa Tomei) Henderson embarks on a perilous and terrifying journey to evacuate the city's orphan children to safety.The film is inspired by the true story of ITV news reporter Michael Nicholson who after months of reporting on the siege of Sarajevo smuggled a child out of the war-torn city and later adopted her. However the film is much more than a story of one mans personal act of compassion it is a harrowing and moving tribute to a city that refused to give in.
