Probably many unsung heroes we will never know about. Precisely because they are unsung. We often go to our graves without hearing their song.
That is too bad, because heroes deserve recognition. When we learn about them, we often learn something. Something that may make us better people.

You may want to at least watch the trailer, which is under 1.5’ long. The full episode lasts a bit over 52’. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
