In a small village, lost in the heart of the Ethiopian mountain range, soldiers kill the entire adult population, leaving only two teachers and a dozen children alive, by accident. Through the Ethiopian highlands, through the southern arid regions of Sudan, past refugee camps, to the headwaters of the White Nile and through the mysterious, deadly Sudd, and then in the company of poachers through central Africa to the borders of Chad - this is the route along which the children and their teacher walked. Incredible adventures, and a description of what no tourist will ever be shown, and not every traveler who has passed through these places will be able to tell about what he saw, because not everyone is lucky enough to return.
