Rain in a Dry Land You're Not an African

RAIN IN A DRY LAND is a verité feature documentary chronicling two years in the lives of two Somali Bantu families as they journey from Africa to America. It is a story of time travel, culture shock, a leap from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century as these subsistence farmers find themselves in a mysterious and confusing land. More importantly, it is an intimate, human story about two extraordinary families who somehow managed to keep their spirits intact through years of mayhem and deprivation, and whose astonishing, open-hearted resilience enables them to make a new life.

These families are Somali Bantus. The most oppressed people in Somalia, more than any other tribes. I am glad America brought them instated of the other tribes. Long live my fellow Somali minorities. As a Somali minority I am glad I am in Canada and have no hope in going back to god forsaking country called Somalia.
