Two great continents intertwined on the world's stage. and two larger than life characters determined in their separate ways to tell their stories. chen chang-jin - the wildly successful chinese billionaire working to utilize africa's vast natural resources in ways that would be benefit his homeland and raise his profile in the process. achol madut yek - one of the poorest of the poor, trekking from south sudan, through darfur, and into chad, in a journey that will captivate the eyes of the world and cause it to see the strength and potential of africa and its people in a new light. dualities is ultimately a story about humanity - its scope, its inequities, its potential - and how the welfare of its most vulnerable members is often more vital than commonly acknowledged.
