Documentary at Somerville Theater

[abb-davis.livejournal.com]

Hi Davis Square Folks,

Milton and Fred Ochieng' are 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.

Sons of Lwala will be shown Thursday, May 14, 8:00 - 9:15 p.m. at the Somerville Theater in Davis Square, followed by a brief talk and question and answer session with a Board Member connected to the work in Kenya.
