On the White Nile, by filmmaker Akuol de Mabior, transports us into the world of Rebecca Lith Chol, a spirited South Sudanese fisherwoman and boat captain .
From the stern of her long wooden boat, Rebecca steers her crew down the White Nile, running her small fishing business.
She is a formidable, courageous woman - in charge of her boat, her business and her destiny.
Hers is a precarious living, but despite a life of hardship, her philosophical outlook and strong heart drive her forward.
