Synopsis:
An idealist, a romantic, humanist and visionary, Swiss-born Henry Dunant led a great battle convincing states to allow a relief society to take care of soldiers wounded on the battlefield regardless of their nationality. The fierce will of this man, who dared the impossible, thereby earning the first Nobel Peace Prize, was the spark that led to the founding of the Red Cross Society. This film, an epic loosely based on the life of Henry Dunant, is carried by the spirit and the passion tht drove this resolutely modern hero of the 19th century.
For the entire Francophonie programme of events in Cyprus - Mois de la Francophonie 2016
