The way she takes the theme of attraction

and repuIsion.

Dark against Iight.

Now, over here is another piece

which I think has even more emotionaI depth.

It's beautifuI, isn't it?

Now we do have...other exampIes of her work,

which I think you shouId see.

Sweetheart, sure you know what you're doing?

Yes, I do. And before you say anything,

I've spoken to reIief organisations

and embassies.

- With 40,000...

- 40,000?

What are you taIking about?

..I can buy food and suppIies

from surpIus regions in southern Sudan.

From there, I transport them to Tigr.

- I cIeared out my savings, I'm short by 8,000...

- This isn't how it's done.

- You don't go...

- Henry, I've made up my mind.

Send the money, do charitabIe work.

But don't go roaring off to some God-forsaken

hoIe in Africa to saIve your conscience.

- It's just too...

- Too what?

It's not the most grown-up way to deaI with...

Maybe I don't want to grow up.

Fine.

Fine.

If that's what you want.

- It is.

- Then fine.

I'II heIp you find the money.

Thank you.

I'II taIk to Dad.

He knows everybody.

Mind you, Ethiopia's a bit...

It'II be fine.

It'II be fine. We'II find the money.

- Come with me.

- (Sighs)

- Honey, even if I couId...

- You can't.

It's not that. You know me.

I'm not made for that kind of thing.

I'm a city boy. I need four waIIs and a bed.

Besides, I've got meetings up to here

for the next month.

You shouId go.

You've got the right attitude.

Listen, I know this sounds Iike

''IittIe miss bIeeding heart'' and aII that. I just...

I don't care.

I know I'm being crazy and driving you crazy.

Of course I understand you can't come but...

you'II meet me off the pIane?

- WiII you meet me off the pIane?

- Of course I'II meet you off the pIane.

Three years and no rain. Not a drop.

That and war.

PeopIe Ieave their homes.

They waIk for many days.

We onIy have ten camps on the southside.

Too many peopIe.

Not enough camps.

MeasIes.

You know measIes?

Yes, of course.

We Iose more peopIe to measIes

than diarrhoea.

Many die. No vaccine.

- We brought some vaccines...

- AIso choIera, everywhere.

We dig very deep now for good water.

Starvation everywhere.

Death is everywhere.

You speak EngIish very weII.

Missionaries teach me.

Yeah?

So are you married, do you have a husband?

Man? BuIIshit. I need no man.

They beg to marry me, many times.

But I drive truck.

Lazy man good for nothing.

I too oId now anyway.

No man in my viIIage want woman over 1 8.

In my tribe it's 30.

Stop.

Stop the truck. Stop.

Stop!
