The March

[Messiah]

Does anyone remember a TV Drama that was shone several years ago (I cant remember the channel) in the UK called "The March". I have tried writing to the big Broadcasters but with no luck thus far. It was about a small tribe in Africa who where dying because of a drought, so they walked out of their village and headed North towards Europe, along the way they picked up other villages and soon reached hundreds of thousands. They had one philosphy that drove them on, "We are poor, because you are rich". I would love to find out if a copy is available. Please Help. Cheers.
