On the Greek island of Lesbos, Moria, the largest refugee camp in Europe, has become a filthy slum. When Europe confines itself, the refugees feel totally abandoned. Their anger explodes, but nothing can be done. They are the forgotten people of the COVID 19 crisis. With his friend Mortaza Behboudi, Father Maurice Joyeux, from the Jesuit Refugee Service, decided to go back there to accompany the people and help them not to sink into despair. He took the time to see the situations, to listen to the stories of the people and quickly perceived the hunger, the thirst, the endless waiting in a climate of fear and insecurity: a place of no rights, this camp had become a real hell. But his job as a priest is to share his hope in the very heart of despair. So Maurice Joyeux gets closer to the refugees. He follows in their footsteps to help them not only to survive but to live. But in September, the hell is reduced to ashes.

For over thirty years, The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) led by the rebel leader Joseph Kony, wreaked untold havoc for tens of thousands who lived in northern Uganda during the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s. Army rebels would attack and kill all who lived in the small villages and then burn their homes. They would find and capture young boys and force them to become child soldiers and young girls to be enslaved as child brides. Those who hid from the rebels and miraculously survived, would run through the northern Uganda bush for days in search of safety in the Internal Displaced Peoples Camps (IDPC). "The Most Important Number is One" documents the real life story of Ronald Abong who was one of many who was able to escape the rebel’s sword. The film traces his life as a small child, who at six years old escaped the murderous rebels and fled for days with his aunt and uncle to find refuge in the IDPC Starch Factory camp in Lira, Uganda. It follows his journey of being rescued by Victoria Nalongo Namusisi, who found Ronald naked, severely malnourished and near death in the camp and how she brought him to her children’s home near Kampala and slowly brought him back to life. Now twelve years later the camera captures Ronald’s return to Lira to confront the ghosts of his horrific childhood. During his return journey Ronald visits Lira, Uganda remembering the horrors of his mother’s murder by the rebels and of his time in the IDPC camp. He finally meets his extended family who warmly welcomes him back to his village. His family accompanies him on this final journey to his mother’s grave, and at last he is able to shed tears for the mother he remembered and loved so long ago.
