Overview
Yusuf, the father of two young girls, Ayani, 13 and Aisha,12, has defied tradition in their village in Southern Sudan and prohibited his daughters from undergoing ritual female circumcision [Female Genital Mutilation].

Yusuf, the father of two young girls, Ayani, 13 and Aisha,12, has defied tradition in their village in Southern Sudan and prohibited his daughters from undergoing ritual female circumcision [Female Genital Mutilation]. His wife who had undergone the ritual, died giving birth to Aisha. Yusuf loses his life under mysterious circumstances and within days, the ritual is performed on the older sibling. Aisha realises that soon her turn will come and decides to run away from the village, choosing the uncertainty of possible death on the run over the sure knowledge that she will be set upon and mutilated should she remain behind.

A group of four young South African doctors plan a safari to the Murchison Falls National Park in northern Uganda to celebrate the end of their Internship. While sitting around their camp fire one evening, one of the members of the group lets slip that he had seen the wife of the group leader, Dr John Silver, leaving the room of a ‘playboy’ colleague under suspicious circumstances. Enraged by the news of his wife’s infidelity, John climbs into one of the group’s Land Rovers and drives off into the night. After some distance his headlights pick up an object in the road surrounded by a pack of hyenas.

Armed with an axe he approaches the object and discovers the body of a child. Following her recovery, the child (Aisha) begs her rescuers to also rescue her sister and a daring, military style raid into Southern Sudan is planned….
