After making her way to China to become a missionary, an English parlor maid wins the heart of a Eurasian colonel and the respect of the local Mandarin. But her greatest accomplishment is leading 100 homeless children to safety across enemy-held terrain during Japan's invasion of China. Adapted from the novel "The Small Woman" about the true-life story of Gladys Aylward, this powerfully poignant film is inspiring entertainment from beginning to end.
