About To Walk Without Fear

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.

    I must thank you for all you do and the inspiration you are to me. Thanks!! Watch this trailer, it will give you a brief introduction to this incredible world.

    Their life has only just begun, they have beautiful dreams for the future.
    Now they are the witnesses and the innocent victims of the senseless slaughter and destruction.
    I saw drawings of children about destroying wars too, these showed the pain what they really felt. It will be lifelong suffering for children if people doesn't help them to get those terrible things over. To live in Better World we have to think about it, and ready to help them.
    I have the highest regard for all those people who can save children's life and fights for human's rights.

    You will never see things differently unless you have experienced the same thing or someone dear to you has. Until then, you will always favor an IPhone verses helping a desparate child for a basic needs...

    Help is within reach, and is applicable to everybody (no exception) and is everybody's responsibility that can change the world.

    In today's world, as it has evolved, it's not about who's got the most powerful bomb. It's about who's smarter!!!

    we should always think how many people suffer around the world, how many innocent human beings are victims of actions taken based on economic interests (right Mr George?) especially children. let's try to help them and make a better world!

    Empowerment is the theme: of the children that are helped as well as those of us who are called upon to contribute to the children reclaiming their lives.

    Often we talk about Social Responsibility.

    Italy, the U.S.A., Russia and many other industrialized countries produce mines, I heard they can be as cheap as 8 dollars each.
    I leave it to the viewers to make a judgment where our Responsibility starts and ends.

    Working and supporting The Global Medical Relief Fund, is a Responsibility and Commitment for Film Annex as it should be for you.

    Please watch this trailer and visit www.globmed.org to get to know the children and pay your support.

    thanks
