In a foreign country ravaged by genocide and decades of war, Geraldine Cox found a purpose and a family. Now, Geraldine is facing a crisis - one that threatens her life and the orphanage she helped build. Can one woman overcome the politics and poverty of a troubled nation, and protect the future of innocent children under her care?

This 97-minute documentary follows the life and work of an Australian woman named Geraldine Cox, who has become mother to an orphanage of children in the ever-shifting, always-dangerous political landscape of Cambodia. Geraldine's inspiring story - in which she attempts to protect some 60 boys and girls from the brutality, poverty and neglect that surely await them were it not for the orphanage - is framed against a numbing legacy of violence in Cambodia that began during the Vietnam War, and reached its nadir during the brutal regime of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the late 1970s. The atrocities of these and subsequent eras have spawned a nation of orphans - and inspired Geraldine Cox to try and make a difference by committing her life to a few of them.
