Mbembé Story
Once again Sombol finds himself leaving what is familiar to pursue something that is calling him. This time he is in charge of the decision. This time he is the leader of this new endeavor, but he is not the only one looking to find a happy ending.
As they enter into this new land, he is haunted by stories of those with similar dreams, dreams of survival, dreams of flourishing, expressing themselves and LIVING! Sadly many of these dreamers unlike Sombol, have had their lives cut short by crossing forbidden boarders, hidden in cargo, suspended under over-hangings. Sombol hears these stories and cannot help but visualize the animals of the Savannah running in chaos and desperation to escape the wildfires, leaving with nothing but their own lives. Once again with the spirit of the Elephant living inside him, Sombol moves forward untouched by the fire that stung and burned so many in it's path.
