Description
Prisoner #1056: How I Survived War and Found Peace
Roy Ratnavel's incredible journey begins with his capture by government soldiers at 17, sent to a prison camp for being Tamil. Tortured for two months, he was eventually rescued by a family friend who helped him escape. With no future in Sri Lanka, Ratnavel was resettled in Canada, where he would go on to build a remarkable life.
From the mailroom to the executive suite, Ratnavel's story is one of perseverance and determination. He worked multiple jobs, attended night school, and lived with four roommates in tiny apartments. Despite facing numerous challenges, Ratnavel never accepted charity and instead made the most of every opportunity that came his way.
