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.

This journey began in Nashville, so it's only fitting to end it there. Before embarking on a film festival run, Nashvillians are invited to a special screening of Sons of Lwala at TPAC's Jackson Hall. Milton and Fred Ochieng’ and other special guests will be present, and the evening will include a performance by Jars of Clay. All proceeds from the event will go to the Lwala Community Alliance.

Tickets: $30-$500
