Chester Goes to Africa

CHESTER is the field mouse who longs for the countryside that had been destroyed by bulldozers in order to build a congested and polluted city. Chester migrates to Africa where he embarks on a journey to find clean, wide open spaces with lakes, mountains and fields. He is forced to negotiate his way through African urban settings on a journey that leads him to encounters with many fierce animals that frequent the African landscape: rhinos, crocodiles, zebras, lions, baboons and meerkats. Using his drum that he learned to play in the city that he left, Chester seeks to befriend these fierce animals with his music. It’s about adventure, friendship and the environment.
