Reese Witherspoon stars in one of her earliest roles in this classic Disney adventure. She plays the witty Nonni, a South African girl who survives a massacre by evil ivory poachers. She and the other survivor, an young arrogant American boy, flee across the vast Kalahari Desert to escape. Their only help is an African bushman called Xhabbo, who helps them negotiate the gruelling 2000 kilometre journey. On the way all three learn a lot about life and love in this great family film.
