synopsis.
​
In the struggling town of Silvercliff, the villagers are always on the lookout for ‘The Prize’. They long for even a glimpse of the elusive figure. Who or what is ‘The Prize’? Well, no one knows exactly. But they know it’s incredibly hard to obtain. And they know they want it. ‘The Prize’, they say, will bring happiness, riches, success – whatever one desires.
A rivalry between two villagers, Map and Zip, leads to a challenge to see who will be the first to find ‘The Prize’. Each with their own support crew, Map and Zip journey into the formidable Forest of Maisha where they will have to face the elements of earth, wind, water and fire. The tribesmen and women of the forest will challenge the travellers and teach them lessons along their journey. But will they listen?
Journey with Map, Zip and the villagers of Silvercliff on their quest to find ‘The Prize’. Will good triumph over evil? Will anyone ever find ‘The Prize? And who will learn the most valuable lesson of all?
Find out in…
The Prize.
Moral: It is not the end goal that is the most important thing; it’s the journey. Kindness, friendship and love conquer all.​
