About

As Liberia's civil war escalates, a group of missionaries embarks on a desperate cross-country trip to protect one of their own.

Philip Abubakar, a local branch leader, and six African missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

These missionaries played by Elders Menti, Meyers, Gaye, Nyanforth, Selli and Forkpah are stuck in Monrovia during the First Liberian Civil War.

Prevented from conducting missionary work due to the violence in the area, they create a plan to escape to the northern Sierra Leone border, so they can continue preaching without the fear of being killed.

Freetown is based on a true story about missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Liberia seeking to escape the Liberian Civil War to safety in Sierra Leone.
