Über diesen Titel

A harrowing true story of resilience, sacrifice, and survival during one of the most tumultuous evacuations in history.

1975: Saigon is on the brink of collapse. Amid the chaos, a young American is thrust into a race against time. A year earlier, 19-year-old Ross Meador arrived in Vietnam searching for purpose—determined to do good in a world consumed by war. But as the city crumbles around him, his mission becomes clear: help evacuate as many orphaned children as possible before it’s too late.

As the Vietnam War nears its devastating end, Ross becomes a key figure in Operation Babylift, a last-ditch effort to rescue thousands of children before Saigon falls. Faced with impossible choices, and the growing urgency of an unwinnable war, he must risk everything to bring these children to safety.

Now, 50 years after Operation Babylift, Carried Away revisits this extraordinary moment in history—a daring rescue mission that saved lives, changed destinies, and remains one of the most poignant humanitarian efforts of the Vietnam War.
