Omo Child

The Kara tribe of Omo Valley, Ethiopia, lives in isolation from the rest of the world and believes that some children are born cursed. The curse (called Mingi) supposedly brings disease and drought to the tribe and these children must be killed. The tribe’s only educated young man, Lale Labuko, loves his village and his people, but he wishes to end this age-old horrific practice. In the face of strong resistance from the elders and threats to his family, Lale has a long road to walk to save the Mingi children.
