Just A Desert Boy is a brief 13-minute documentary film depicting the story of Benson Ekuwom’s ministry among his people, the Turkana, who affectionately call him “the desert boy.”

Produced early in 2005, Just A Desert Boy shows only a portion of Benson’s incredible story. The impact of his work among the remote nomadic Turkana tribe in northwestern Kenya continues to grow in scope and significance.
