The Lexington Network presents an award winning documentary film about the first combat casualty of the Iraq War, who was also an undocumented immigrant and green card soldier. The film raises provocative questions about immigrants and immigration, third world poverty, green card soldiers, street kids, our role in the third world and the nature of heroism. It is the story of one person's ability to survive. Born in one war, Gutierrez died in another.
