Rebuilding Hope is many things:

It is a journey home to South Sudan in the summer of 2007 for Gabriel Bol Deng, Koor Garang and Garang Mayuol to discover whether their families and villages survived the civil war that forced them to flee as young boys twenty years ago.

It is Gabriel Bol, Garang and Koor's efforts to help their communities, through health care and education.

It is filmmaker/writer Jen Marlowe's and journalist David Morse's documentation of the extraordinary journey and determination of these three young men which will result in a film, a book, and several shorter written and video pieces along the way.

It is the thoughts and analyses of the people of South Sudan, nearly three years after the signing of the fragile Comprehensive Peace Agreement. "Rebuilding Hope" explores the connections between the conflict in South Sudan and conflicts in other parts of the country, including Darfur, probing the larger questions of identity and ethnicity and taking a pulse on the Southern Sudanese people's hopes and fears for the future.
