The plot is far richer than I can tell, including friendship and love, redemption and hope. Redemption? That's right, they, especially the male protagonist, have been devoting themselves to the rescue work in refugee camps around the world. As an unofficial organization, their source of funds is very unstable. There are some cases that don't last, and they are also affected by different local armed groups. Factions obstructed, harassed, and even threatened lives, but no matter how difficult the conditions were, they persisted to save one more, one more, fresh life. Infected by their spirit, shocked by their actions. Looking at the back, I was thinking, maybe, their desperate efforts to save people are actually redeeming their own souls and all those souls on the earth who have no worries about food and clothing but are inactive all day long. Disputes, wars, famine, suffering, who caused these disasters? Don't say what those warlord politicians are, it has nothing to do with us. We made it! Everyone is a part of humanity, and all evil, no one can escape involvement.
The film begins with Owen and an African child making a charitable donation party, showing us the hypocrisy of philanthropists, donors, and ourselves.
We all need redemption. Someone is helping us without us even realizing it.
