Alimamy – a father's burden

As a father, Alimamy really wants the best future he can provide for his children. But as a farmer in a small village community in the rural north of Sierra Leone, he already has to fight daily for the family’s basic needs. His plan, however, is to break the vicious cycle of poverty by helping his kids get an education. Despite his limited resources, he embarks on an adventurous journey to bear the burden of development for a future generation. Can he succeed?
