A wandering hunter comes to the village of Farrakoro and makes the difficult to believe prediction that a crippled boy and his out-cast mother will overcome all odds to deliver their nation from a powerful warlord. What follows is their adversarial struggles and the strength they derive from their faith in one another. Authentic music, costumes, and scenery invite you to a modern Mandé village where the storyteller guides your journey as you sing, dance and act alongside professional actors and musicians in a truly unique experience.
