Overview"""Trailblazers"" -- a sequel to Nine Lives, is an odyssey that takes you around the world. It presents stories of eleven human rights defenders whose lives reflect Gandhi's notion 'you must be the change you wish to see in the world.' Nations, like individuals, have their whims and peculiarities. But what if the cost of those whims becomes unbearable? These testimonies have one thing in common: the local illustrates the global. The Inuit story illustrates global warming. The Sahrawi story illustrates that totalitarianism is alive and well. The Ecuadorian story illustrates why corporate social responsibility must be taken seriously -- all the way to the courthouse. In the end, the truth will come out. Sometimes, the last straw is nothing other than yourself."
