Omo Child: The River and the Bush

For many generations people in the Omo Valley (tribal southwest Ethiopia) believed some children are cursed and that these ï¿½cursedï¿½ children bring disease, drought and death to the tribe. The curse is called ï¿½mingiï¿½ and mingi children are killed. Lale Labuko, a young educated man from the Kara tribe was 15 years old when he saw a child in his village killed and also learned that he had 2 older sisters he never knew who had been killed. He decided one day he would stop this horrific practice. Filmed over a five year period we follow Laleï¿½s journey along with the people of his tribe as they attempt to change an ancient practice.
