My name is Sakula Banga and I am made of my Star, that watches over me wherever I go under this shared sky, and one day the birds that fly above me and the lions and elephants that walk these lands with me will all know my name.

Sakula Banga is the story of a young boy born under a star and a great promise - a promise that he will one day be a great leader. However, his innocent childhood is cut short when Shang arrives in his village and destroys everything he has ever known. Orphaned and imprisoned at the hands of Shang, Sakula must summon all his strength and belief in his Star to escape and journey to become the leader he was always fated to be.

A powerful story of self-discovery and overcoming obstacles set against a rich and lush African backdrop and based on the experiences of child soldier, Emmanuel Jal.
