Whiteman

When Jack Diaz travels to West Africa as a relief worker, he has no idea he is about to step into the middle of a religious civil war between Muslims and Christians. As tensions rise, Jack refuses to leave his Muslim village, learning instead the nuances of life in the bush.

With the guidance of Mamadou, his village guardian, Jack learns the true meaning of discrimination and acceptance, and he finds out what he is truly made of. Captivating and vivid, "Whiteman" explores the important issues in contemporary Africa in a stunning and entertaining narrative style.
