Leaving one’s birthplace is always a transformative event. That can be a choice, this is not always the case: when emigration is needed, fears, traumas and concerns about the future are certainly part of the journey.

Malaika was born in Congo, an African country where conflicts, inequality and the influence of colonizing countries are intense. Guerrilla warfare and violence make the country unstable and force thousands of people to abandon their homes, including Malaika and her family. The journey of this resilient and determined girl is surrounded by setbacks and grief, but also by strength and hope. Embark on this engaging narrative about love and perseverance.
