With only each other to depend on, 14-year-old Shamira and her mother flee tribal genocide. While they fight to escape South Sudan’s violent civil war, experts and defectors challenge those in power. Global pressure mounts as these profiteers of war claim to seek peace. With unprecedented access, the film examines how politicians weaponize people's trauma to pillage nations. Considered the most corrupt place on earth, can the world’s newest country overcome these issues and finally find peace?

The film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the filmmakers and CAS Africana Studies Faculty.
