Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Leonard was kidnapped as a child and forced into the military. He eventually escaped. From child spy to refugee to refugee hero, his journey is captured in this mini-documentary directed by Luke McLean and produced by TSOS: "Leonard Bagalwa: This Is My Story." TSOS is proud to partner with Utah County Refugee Connection, Mr. Bagalwa's non-profit organization that seeks to empower refugees in their journeys to self-reliance.
