Aroview: Succinct documentary following Barak Obama's emotional journey with his family to Africa in 2006 in the wake of becoming the newly elected U.S. Senator. The Obama's cross-country pilgrimage includes a visit to a Darfur refugee camp, Robben Island and participation in a public HIV test before finishing their journey in Barak's late father's hometown of Siaya, Kenya.
