Charismatic, charming and complex, Sérgio Vieira de Mello was the world's go-to guy, a man who could descend into the most dangerous places, charm the worst war criminals, and somehow protect the lives of the ordinary people to whom he'd devoted his life. The documentary tells the story of his most treacherous mission ever... a mission in which his own life hangs in the balance.

A documentary that tells one man’s story of building a guerrilla army.

He did it by raising some $30 million and buying high-powered sniper rifles – weapons that were and still are legally purchased in the United States. He transported the weapons to Albania, again legally.
