Go on an extraordinary journey and explore one of the longest rivers on the African continent, the mighty Zambezi. Passing through or along six African countries, the river's story is one of constant change, of life and death.

The series spotlights Mose Gingerich and his efforts to help former followers of the faith. At 22, Gingerich himself left and moved to Columbia, Mo., where his new life centers on welcoming and guiding others who share his experience.
