Jackson (Will Marsh), Jessica Biel (Vanessa Price), Brian Presley (Tommy Yates). Precise, highly accessible language evokes a wide range of emotions and simultaneously tells an initiation story. In Southeastern Iraq a war-wearied National Guard unit has just received the exhilarating news that they are about to be demobilized - finally sent back. Home of the Brave - Crew / Cast: Director: Irwin Winkler, with: Samuel L. Comedy/Drama 30 - 35 minutes 6 W, 4 M, 3 Any (13-20 actors possible: 6-16 W. Kek endures a mixture of failures (he uses the clothes washer to clean dishes) and victories (he lands his first paying job), but one thing remains constant: his ardent desire to learn his mother's fate. Home of the Brave is about the fight for freedom where you least expect it. Prefaced by an African proverb, each section of the book marks a stage in the narrator's assimilation, eloquently conveying how his initial confusion fades as survival skills improve and friendships take root.

An onslaught of new sensations greets Kek (“This cold is like claws on my skin,” he laments), and ordinary sights unexpectedly fill him with longing (a lone cow in a field reminds him of his father's herd when he looks in his aunt's face, “I see my mother's eyes/ looking back at me”).

The boy has traveled by “flying boat” to Minnesota in winter to live with relatives who fled earlier. After witnessing the murders of his father and brother, then getting separated from his mother in an African camp, Kek alone believes that his mother has somehow survived.
