The documentary crosses religious, geographical, and political borders to demonstrate the growing reality of global forced migration. It further examines children's daily dangers while chronicling the growing efforts of NGOs, working within interfaith and P3 partnerships that serve to safeguard these children throughout their journey. From Africa to Asia, from the Middle East to Europe, and from Latin America to the United States of America, the film examines how and why faith-based groups are stepping up to protect all children by using their moral authority, influence, and unique assets as service providers. It further documents how more and more governments and relief agencies depend on these trusted leaders who are deeply integrated within their communities to address the pressing humanitarian crises.
