What Is Omo Child: The River and the Bush About?

The premise of Omo Child: The River and the Bush without spoilers.

In the Omo Valley of Ethiopia, for generations, some children have been considered cursed, believed to bring misfortune like disease and drought to their tribe. These children, known as 'mingi,' are tragically killed. This documentary follows Lale Labuko, a young man from the Kara tribe, who witnessed a ritualistic killing at age 15 and discovered he had two older sisters who were also victims. Driven to end this harmful tradition, Lale embarks on a journey to change an age-old practice, documented over five years alongside his community.
