Last night after dinner I settled down (after my teen went to bed and I won the battle of getting my 21-month-old to bed) to watch "Omo Child: The River and the Bush" on Amazon Prime.  This is a truly remarkable documentary film.  The film focuses on the efforts of Lale, a young member of the Kara tribe in Ethiopia who challenges tribal elders to end the practice of killing children declared as "mingi" (cursed), because it's believed that "mingi" children bring famine and disease. Faced with death threats, Lale and his wife, with the help of a team of concerned young people, begin rescuing the "cursed" children by asking the parents' permission to take the children to a makeshift child rescue facility called Omo Child. The film is informative and truly riveting and shows how small teams of passionate, committed individuals can fight tradition and save lives. One quote that sticks with me is when Lale says “One log cannot boil water".   He challenged tribal superstitions, and the results are an ever-unfolding legacy.  One log may not boil water it can surely ignite a Spark àFlameàFire.  I am a big documentary person and I would like to encourage you to watch Omo Child: The River and the Bush" its message will stay with you for a long time.  This movie…helps us all to step back and ask the question “Why do we do what we do?”  and does what we do speak a truth?  Or Tradition?
