"A heartwarming story of the love and courage of three women, who, in the final days of the Vietnam war, try to evacuate hundreds of orphans from their devastated homeland...

Three women, armed only with love and courage, try to evacuate hundreds of Vietnamese orphans from the devastated homeland in the final days of the Vietnam War.

Earlier during the war, Madam Ngai, a proud and compassionate Vietnamese woman, had started an orphanage to rescue the helpless and homeless babies she found crying in the streets. She became known as the mother of war orphans and, alone, raised hundreds of children until they were old enough to take care of themselves.

Based on the true story of film actress Ina Balin and her efforts with American Red Cross volunteer Betty Tisdale (Shirley Jones) as well as a compassionate Vietnamese woman running a Saigon orphange to rescue as many orphaned children and fly them out of the country before the city falls to the communists in the spring of 197 - IMDB
