Samenvatting:

We live among everyday heroes-people who quietly change the world with small acts of kindness, courage, and justice. Their bravery ignites hope, pushing us to dream bigger and care more deeply.

One such hero is David Matas, known as "The Justice Hunter." Born in Winnipeg in 1943, David's remarkable journey took him from the halls of Princeton and Oxford to the frontlines of the global fight for human rights. For decades, he has been a relentless advocate for refugees and immigrants while fearlessly exposing brutal injustices like China's persecution of Falun Gong and the horrors of apartheid. Since 1979, David has also served as senior legal counsel for B'nai Brith Canada, never wavering in his pursuit of justice.

David's legacy lives on through the David Matas Law Society, inspiring new generations to take up the fight for human rights. His extraordinary life, full of courage and conviction, is the heart of this book-an inspiring story that will leave you believing in the power of one person to change the world.
