A Long Walk to Water

A Long Walk to Water

Nya goes to the pond to fetch water for her family. She walks eight hours every day.

Salva walks away from his war-torn village. He is a "lost boy" refugee, destined to cover Africa on foot, searching for his family and safety.

Two young people…two stories.

One country: Sudan.

This mesmerizing dual narrative follows two threads- one unfolding in 2008 and one in 1985- with one hopeful message: that even in a troubled country determined survivors may find the future they are hoping for.
