This is the story of Todd Shea, who founded Comprehensive Disaster Response Services (CDRS) after deployment to Pakistan in October 2005 to assist earthquake relief efforts in the region of Muzaffarabad. Todd decided to stay in Pakistan and, working with community volunteers, he set up CDRS, dedicated to providing quick, compassionate medical and humanitarian relief and disaster recovery operations. The film covers CDRS work with families and individuals in Pakistan from the 2005 earthquake, the 2009 Swat refugee crisis, and the 2010 great floods. CDRS operations include medical support, logistical support, health education programmes and funding directly to the people who require it immediately.
