In the Omo Valley of southwest Ethiopia, a centuries-old curse, "mingi," has been believed to afflict certain children, bringing disease, drought, and death to the tribe. These "mingi" children are brutally killed.

Determined to end this horrific tradition, Lale embarked on a five-year journey, accompanied by his tribe, to reform their ancient customs.
