Five dramas about extraordinary children from around the world. 1: Child of the Border - Africa by Gill Adams. Thirteen-year-old Sia Mia is orphaned during the bitter war in Sierra Leone. She now lives in the Massakundou refugee camp on the border between Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. She spends her days sweeping or queuing at the well for water. Each day is a challenge, but she has the support of her beloved caretaker, Mamma Ballu. We follow her struggle to come to terms with her past and her future.
