Salva's Journey and Challenges

The transcript follows two parallel stories in Southern Sudan. In 2008, Naya, an 11-year-old girl, embarks on a daily journey to fetch water, facing challenges like heat and thorns. In 1985, Salva, a young boy, experiences the outbreak of war while at school. He is forced to flee into the bush, separated from his family, and faces the harsh realities of conflict.
