Vi känner alla till namn som Gandhi och Raoul Wallenberg. Men har du hört talas om Wesley Autrey, byggnadsarbetaren som en dag kastade sig framför tåget för att rädda en okänd mans liv? Eller journalisten och samhällskritikern Amira Hass, som flyttade från Israel till Västbanken för att rapportera om och dela de ockuperade palestiniernas vardag. Vad har dessa människor gemensamt med franska flyktingsmugglare under andra världskriget och medborgarrättskämpar i amerikanska Södern? Alla har de valt att med det egna livet som insats ta ställning för det man anser är viktigt och rätt. Alla är de hjältar. 101 historiska hjältar är Ola Larsmos och Brian Palmers engagerade och dramatiska porträtt av etthundraen hjältar som kämpat för yttrandefrihet och mänskliga rättigheter i Östeuropa, Afrika, Sydamerika - och i Sverige.
