Forced to flee at age ten from his village in Burma, Nimrod Andrew faced an uncertain future as a refugee. Battling terrible odds he struggled to turn his displacement into opportunity. Compelled by the horrors of Burma and devoted to helping his community, for Nimrod, leaving the past behind isn't as easy as it may seem. The film tells the story of this young man's struggle to overcome loss and tell the truth about Burma.
