Synopsis

After his parents are killed in an air raid in Egypt, 10-year-old Sammy sets off to find his aunt who lives in South Africa. What Sammy doesn't realise is that his aunt's home is 4,000 miles away, and just using a compass telling him which way south is might not be enough to get him there. This is a terrific adventure movie about a boy fearlessly taking on a long, scary and exciting journey.
