A dramatized first-person retelling of documented events
After the Battle of Solferino, Henry Dunant rallied local villagers to care for thousands of wounded soldiers from both sides without distinction, leading to the 1863 founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the first Geneva Convention; his later writings show a deepened Christian commitment to mercy.
