Synopsis

Raw, powerful, and deeply human.
Liberia 1958—At two years old, a sudden fever struck without warning. Days later, Rosana collapsed while trying to walk and could no longer stand on her right leg. Suspicion spread quickly through the community. Some said she was cursed. Others believed an evil spirit had claimed her. The Medicine Man delivered a terrifying diagnosis: “A dragon has swallowed her leg.” Her father’s belief that “girls had no value” only deepened when it seemed her fate was sealed.

But what looked like an ending became the beginning of an extraordinary life.

Rosana’s fortunes changed when an American missionary family took her in and raised her as their own. The education and opportunities she received opened doors that many Liberian girls could only dream of.

She came of age as Liberia descended into civil war. As violence consumed the country, Rosana worked as a nurse under siege—delivering babies to the sound of gunfire, passing through rebel checkpoints where a name, accent, or hairstyle could mean execution, and helping desperate civilians escape through the chaos.

Haunted by what she witnessed during the war, Rosana dedicated her life to rescuing girls the world had forgotten—child soldiers, trafficking survivors, abused children, and young women with nowhere left to turn. She founded THINK (Touching Humanity In Need of Kindness), built safe homes, and eventually rose to serve in Liberia’s national legislature, fighting to change laws and challenge generations of silence and injustice.

Chosen Warrior is the unforgettable true story of faith tested by fire, of courage forged through suffering, and of a woman who turned her deepest wounds into a mission that transformed countless lives.
