The Development - Rain Dance

Chioma, a Zulu tribesman, prays for rain to revive his dry, deserted land. His prayer takes him on a journey where he performs a rain dance on a floating island in the sky. This dance causes the island, and eventually Chioma's land, to flourish with grass, trees, and water. Chioma's prayer and dance are answered as rain falls and restores life to the area.
