The inspirational and true rags-to-riches story of how one young boy made it from the war-torn Congolese jungles to America and onto the silver screen, all the while facing extraordinary trials and twists of fate with an unwavering faith and unflagging spirit.
Blondy Baruti's boyhood in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was shaped by a desperate ordeal to survive. After marauding soldiers invaded his village, he, his mom, and his sister fled to the jungle and trekked countless miles to flee the atrocities and violenceβonly to encounter more unspeakable horrors at every turn. Their odyssey ended some sixteen months later when they finally reached safetyβbut Blondy's journey had only just begun.
In an amazing true story that seems more like fiction, we see Blondy overcome incredible oddsβpoverty, fever, hunger, betrayalβin pursuit of daring dreams that take him from his fight for survival in the Congolese jungle to a dazzling turn on an A-list...
