Summary: 3551 is the number of child soldiers taken away from front lines and offered new hope in a place ravaged by one of Africa's longest running wars. These boys are in the Sudan Peoples Liberation army and they have never known peace. Peter Malwien is one of those boys and he's lost both of his parents to the war. We follow Peter as aircraft from the UN's World Food Programme are diverted from usual humanitarian tasks and more than two and a half thousand boys are lifted by air to the Rumbek area. At the camps, built where the children are to live until they can be returned to their homes, Peter, who has never been to school begins to imagine new and exciting challenges. Finally, we watch Peter's hard journey home and the reconciliation with his remaining family members. |
