Walking to Freedom - $20 a copy

Produced by the Awulian Community Development Association, "Walking to Freedom" chronicles the lives of a group of young men and women from Southern Sudan's Awulian clan, Christian, animist, agricultural people driven from their homes by northern Islamic government forces. Their stories recall the terrifying, arduous thousand mile treks forced on them as children, orphaned and separated from their families by civil war and dubbed the Lost Boys of Sudan aid agencies. Powerful, eloquent, heartbreaking yet uplifting, Walking to Freedom brings alive the sounds of cattle camps, children's games, village meetings and the wisdom received from beloved elders.
