Milton and Fred Ochieng’ are two brothers from Lwala, Kenya whose village sent them to America to become doctors. But after losing both parents to AIDS they are left with a heartbreaking task: to return home and finish the health clinic their father started before getting sick. Unable to raise enough money on their own, the brothers are joined by students, politicians, and a rock band who launch a fund raising drive among young people across the United States.
Jars of Clay wrote an original score for Honoring a Father's Dream: Sons of Lwala. The song "Prisoner of Hope," which is heard at the end of the film, was included on the Closer EP.[2] "A Country of My Own," by Thad Cockrell is also featured in the film.[3]
Honoring a Father's Dream: Sons of Lwala was selected to screen at the 2011 Attic Film Festival.[4]
