The action thriller is inspired by the real-life experiences of Millsap, who is a veteran of both the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army Special Forces. It centers on a Marine Corps vet’s quest to help the Iraqi interpreter who saved his life in combat flee ISIS and find safety for his family, after official channels fail him.
“The Marines live by the motto of “Semper Fidelis” so when I got a call for help from an Iraqi ally, there was no way in hell that I was going to leave him behind,” said Millsap. “Unfortunately, there are too many veterans receiving calls for help, and I’m honored to partner with One Community to tell a story about a critical policy issue for veterans of both Iraq and Afghanistan.”
“This is a gripping, edge-of your seat story that highlights the extreme and urgent dangers that face our wartime allies left behind in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said One Community’s Head of Content, Ameet Shukla. “Chase’s first-hand experience as a soldier and advocate infuse the story with emotional intensity that reflects the incredible sacrifices these allies make to help us and the deep bonds forged between soldiers and allies on the ground in times of war.
“Prior to joining Gunpowder & Sky, I was founder of We Are The Mighty, a media brand for and by the military community, when I first met Chase,” added Gale, who now serves as EVP of Development and Production at the former company. “I was immediately struck by his exceptional character and devotion to serving others.
Millsap has spent the last 7 years trying to help the Iraqi Army colleague who saved his life obtain asylum after he was forced to flee ISIS in Iraq. He has become a noted advocate for America’s wartime allies, previously serving on the Board of Directors for No One Left Behind.
