First in a five-part series looking at global events on a human scale.
Fatma's Prayer
In the mid-1980s a famine of biblical proportions swept across much of Africa. Seven years on, many of the Sudanese who fled their villages still live in crude camps on the outskirts of Khartoum. Global Report tells the moving story of Fatma, a young mother who attempts to return to the life she loved before the drought. Producer Sarah Errington
