A group of international mercenary pilots in Uganda in the mid-1990s fly weapons across Africa, selling them to the highest bidder. A young Congolese cowherd joins them and finds himself in a ton of trouble. Later, in Europe, he struggles to move on. GF evokes the landscape and people of East Africa (as he did the The Last King of Scotland) in this powerful story of survival.
