| | Synopsis
|
Thirteen-year-old Muchoki and his younger sister, Jata, can hardly
believe what has become of their lives. Only weeks ago, they lived in
a bustling Kenyan village, going to school, playing soccer with
friends, and helping at their parents' store. But sudden political
violence has killed their father and destroyed their home. Now,
Muchoki, Jata, and their ailing mother live in a tent in an
overcrowded refugee camp. By day, they try to fend off hunger and
boredom. By night, their fears about the future are harder to keep at
bay. And then the unthinkable happens: their mother dies and they are
left orphaned. Driven by a desperate optimism, Muchoki and Jata set
off on what seems like an impossible quest: to walk over a hundred
miles across Kenya in search of their last remaining family.
