Overview:

This book tells us of one man’s fight against tyranny. When Evan Mawarire draped a flag of his country, Zimbabwe, across his shoulders, never did he expect the ramifications of that act and what it would do to his life and that of his fellow Zimbabweans. He morphs from pastor to activist, one who is hunted and imprisoned, kept from his family, tortured and exiled. But through this all, his faith in God does not waver and he stands firm in his belief that he can make a change, inspiring readers to do their own changemaking.
