Ishmael was care free boy in Africa with one brother, who went to school, a mother and father, who home schooled him and many friends. Every night they would play rap cassettes and sing along to them pretending to be the people that wrote them. One day he left the village to see his grandma and when he got back he knew his world would never be the same. His whole village had been attacked by rebels and his parents had been slaughtered. Him and his grow of friends flee to different parts of the region fighting for their lives one day at a time.Ishmael is the quietest out of anyone and only talks if its very important. He demonstrates selflessness as well going back to save captured friends and offering a share of food to fellow wanderers. He is strong and pushes himself on even though the road ahead is nothing to look forward to but he never gives up. Physically he is very skinny and gets more so as his adventure goes on and he battles starvation and dehydration. He is physically fit however because he is able to outrun rebels effortlessly and he can run for hours or sometimes for a full day and not stop despite all of the troubles he faces. along his journey each place he stops the rebels always seem to be right behind him. i think all Ishmael wants is to find a safe place to live its just he doesn't know where that is yet.
Ishmaels actor, Tyler James Williams
