The List is a modern-day Oskar Schindler story that focuses on Kirk
Johnson, a young American fighting to save thousands of Iraqis whose
lives are in danger because they worked for the U.S. to help rebuild
Iraq. After leading reconstruction teams in Baghdad and Fallujah, Kirk
returns home only to discover that many of his former Iraqi colleagues
are being killed, kidnapped or forced into exile by radical militias.
Frustrated by a stagnating government bureaucracy in the U.S. that has
failed to protect its ‘Iraqi allies,’ Kirk begins compiling a list of
their names and helps them find refuge and a new life in America.
