The true story of a girl’s stolen childhood and her fight for survival.
Experience the extraordinary true story of Mende Nazer, a girl whose childhood was stolen and whose spirit endured against all odds.
This exceptional, award-winning play unfolds in the stunning backdrop of the Nuba Mountains of Sudan and London, telling the tale of Mende’s joyful early life and her harrowing journey into enslavement.
An outstanding ensemble of eight actor-musicians brings this inspirational story to life through a mix of storytelling, music, and dance, celebrating Mende’s resilience and the rich beauty of the ancient Nuba culture while exposing the horrific realities of trafficking and modern slavery.
Mende’s journey transcends borders, prompting us to reflect on the nature of freedom and the staggering reality of fifty million people enslaved worldwide.
