One of my favorite bands, Jars of Clay, was asked to participate in this documentary called Sons of Lwala. Last August the guys got together and created original scoring for the project, and even added an original song called "Prisoner of Hope" - here's a quick review of the story...
Milton and Fred Ochieng' are two brothers from Kenya whose village sent them to America to become doctors. But after losing both parents to AIDS they are left with a heartbreaking task: to return home and finish the health clinic their father started before getting sick. Unable to raise enough money on their own, the brothers are joined by students, politicians, and a rock band who launch a fund raising drive among young people across the United States. Sons of Lwala follows Milton and Fred on their incredible journey as they find a way, despite all odds, to open their village's first hospital.
