Even though the civil war is over, some people still posse guns which are not used in the right way. Many people still die in Cattle Rustling Activities and this is why we acted this Film to document and also inform the concern community about the danger of the cattle rustling.

All these with different cultures,

Exposing the South Sudanese Rich Cultures

There is even more to explore about the cultural diversity of the South Sudan: Language, cultural dance, marriages, tribal and communal fighting and rustling.

Traditional sports and hunting and Jungle life, tales, are all potential for potentials for movie industries to astonish the world.
