Summary
In a harrowing tale of survival and transformation, James Santos recounts how he became a human shield during the 2006 Dawson College shooting, where his friend Anastasia De Sousa lost her life. Forced to confront unimaginable terror, Santos later received Canada’s highest civilian honor for bravery.
