Film Synopsis

An aeroplane carrying the humanitarian team The Blue Angels comes into land at an airport in an African state.   The white benefactors receive a heroes' welcome from the press and local dignitaries but it isn't long before they are busy loading lorries with their precious cargo of food.  Their destination: a region of the Sahara where thousands are at risk of starving.  The expedition will be fraught with misunderstandings and hazards, and not all of the Blue Angels will return home...
