A film by Frank Gilbert
This is the story of 3 heroes; Youbert, Yousip, and Youkhana, who stood and died for their beliefs. They were Assyrians who found their people and heritage in trouble, and sacrificed to protect them.
In a moving story, their message of sacrifice and determination, of standing for what one believes at a time of crises and difficulty, is handed to one Gewargis, who seeks to deliver their call to those outside of Iraq. And so Gewargis, instructed and inspired by heroes who have been martyred and imprisoned, escapes Iraq and journeys north toward safety. From Iraqi he enters Turkey and then Europe, and finally America, seeking asylum and shelter. His journey introduces him to other Assyrians spread in different countries. His task is to carry the message. And he does.
This is the story of heroes and challenges. It is an Assyrian story for all of humanity. It is about how ideas sparked by conscience can become dangerous but attractive and worth fighting and dying for. This film is based on a true story. An Assyrian story in Iraq. But a story for all of mankind.
