In this sequence from "The Innocence the musical", First Lieutenant Elliot Tyler, played by L. Steven Taylor, is helping Alma, an Estonian war refugee, smuggle a six-year-old Jewish boy to Paris. Though he was wounded during an act of incredible bravery, Elliot has just been released from duty with a "blue discharge", which is neither honorable or dishonorable, because Elliot is black. It also means that he will receive no pension and no official recognition for his bravery in WWII.
"Focus" performed by L. Steven Taylor

"the innocence" traces the lives of two Estonian children, Alma and Toomas, over forty years, through two World Wars, and across continents as they fight to find one another, and piece together their identities... as the Devil follows them, every step of the way.
