Summary
Comedy-drama about the lives of journalists in war zones. A small African war suddenly becomes the centre of global attention when a team of BBC journalists arrives in Karibu ready to cover the conflict. Harry Chambers is hanging on to the bottom rung of the journalist ladder and thinks the story will be his big break. But he finds himself 'bigfooted' when the BBC news heavyweights arrive in town. Football-mad boy soldiers, corrupt car dealers, unexploded landmines, old flames, impromptu hostage situations, viral videos and colossal egos all combust under the African sun. There is a story to be told in Karibu - but who will get to tell it?
