Living in different worlds and separated by an ocean, a father and son try to stay connected through the power of imagination as their distanced lives pull them further apart. Awale takes a job as a cab driver in Canada's remote city of Yellowknife in order to provide for his family back home in Gaalkacyo, Somalia. As his wife Warsan and young son Afrah struggle with his absence, Awale creates a world-building epic inspired by the wonders of his new Arctic home, in order to keep his son close to him. A story spanning the globe both imaginary and real, King Warrior celebrates the turbulent glory of boyhood.
