Sudan's civil war has pushed an estimated 12 million people from their homes, many crossing into Chad, where aid workers now face collapsing funding after European and American cuts, including the dismantling of USAID. The film follows Sani Akilou, a UNHCR officer managing water and hygiene for 40,000 refugees in a Chadian camp, as he tries to get a broken generator repaired while drinking water runs brown and thousands lack toilets. Doctors in the camp treat the first cholera cases as the disease threatens to spread through contaminated water. Alongside him, education officer Charlotte Lepiniec confronts classrooms of over 100 children sharing a handful of blackboards and pens, taught by teachers who haven't been paid in four months but keep showing up hungry. With 26 million people facing starvation nationwide and food rations shrinking, the film builds its portrait of the crisis from these two workers' daily struggles rather than from statistics alone, showing what running out of money looks like on the ground.
