In an Indiana Jones meets Mother Teresa adventure, three middle-aged men, former soldiers and modern-day knights travel the world delivering life-saving humanitarian aid directly into the hands of civilians and doctors. Ed Artis, James Laws and Walt Ratterman inspire through deeds not words, in some of the most dangerous yet beautiful places on Earth, the front lines of war.

Knightsbridge International is a unique humanitarian organization, whose motto is “High Adventure and Service to Humanity.” They explain, “We’re not there to change anybody’s politics, we’re not in the God business, and we pay our own way.” They add simply, We do what we can, when we can, because we can.

“An extremely inspiring film that is also hilarious, exciting and heart-wrenching. Not only are the three men unbelievably good willed, they are enjoyable characters filled with lovable quirks and wonderful stories to tell.” ~Christopher Campbell, Cinematical
