More than one thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes, following disputed elections in Kenya at the end of 2007. Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye – former militia leaders turned peace-makers from Nigeria – were invited to mediate in the worst-affected district. An African Answer depicts their dramatic bid to bring healing and reconciliation after death and destruction.
The film depicts the dynamics of an effective, African approach to conflict resolution between rival ethnic groups. It demonstrates that durable, peaceful coexistence between communities formerly in conflict is feasible in Kenya and beyond.
Above all, the film gives hope that grassroots communities can reject violence and rebuild peace and prosperity.

Analysis of the jihad helps Westerners perceive why some Muslims believe that they can escape Westernization only through violence, how one man's terrorism may be another man's patriotism.

In Sudan, human trafficking is big business. Thousands are taken by Arab militiamen and forced into slavery. For a price, Arab traders buy them back and return them to their families. This is where Baroness Caroline Cox, a deputy speaker at the House of Lords, has decided to step in. She has set up a deal with the traders, and Christians in Britain are donating increasing amounts of money to her cause. But others, including Mike Dottridge of Anti-Slavery International, say that by paying the traders, she is fuelling the trade. We follow the Baroness on her controversial and dangerous mission.
