Crossing international borders and emotional boundaries enables two
people of vastly different cultures-one American and one African-to
find common ground.
Crossing international borders and emotional boundaries enables two
people of vastly different cultures-one American and one African-to
find common ground. This contemporary film begins when Perkins
embarks on a ten-week exploration of the Limpopo River in southern
Africa with Bongus Lunga, a Zimbabwean man who had never before
left his small village. Perkins's initial goal is to investigate
the Africa behind the headlines, but he soon finds himself
challenging his own assumptions and stereotypes about Africans.
Both travelers come to unique discoveries about the river, its
region, its people, and each other. The result is a remarkable tale
of friendship and the discovery of joy, resilience, and human
connection amidst political and economic suffering.
