Synopsis

Walk Without Fear profiles triple amputee Kenan Malkic, who at twelve years old stepped on a landmine and became the most injured civilian to survive the Bosnian war. Now twenty-three, Kenan lives and works with Elissa Montanti, the woman who single-handedly brought him to the United States for prosthetics and rehabilitation, and who founded a global charity in his honor. Together, Kenan and Elissa provide relief, guidance and kinship to children from war-torn countries the world over. Beginning as a personal journey to find the meaning behind his accident, Kenan discovers his own identity and significance as he becomes mentor and role-model to fourteen year old Ali Ameer, an Iraqi amputee with a similar background, and the latest child to be helped by Elissa’s small organization. To Walk Without Fear is an uplifting story about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. At the heart of this film is the transformation of deep tragedy into an opportunity for love and understanding to flourish between people, and the hope that this love offers a world in the face of mounting crisis. Kenan’s story is ultimately about the discovery of a new global family. For further information please visit http://www.globmed.org and contact…
