Henry

Henry is a honey badger with a hair problem. It grows long on his forehead and flops down on his face, obscuring his vision and causing him to miss his prey. He becomes friends with a beauty parlor owner, Verity Olabumba, who styles his hair into a pompadour, after which, he never misses. Like many true life stories, it starts out on a light note, but soon turns serious. Terrorists attack a school and kidnap 13 students and their teacher. Verity's husband, Solomon Olabumba, is part of a secret anti-terror squad called Ghost Force. He invites Henry to join the mission to save the hostages. Henry is key to the operation's success, and becomes a valued member of the force. General David Botshelo congratulates Solomon, and confides that there are troubling things going on in the army and in the government in capital city of Maatlamotse. He asks Solomon and Mac, another member of Ghost Force, to meet him at his shamba in two days. Solomon and Mac camp near the general's shamba, and observe a pickup heading toward the general's place just before dawn. They follow on foot, and witness three men setting up to ambush the general as he lands his bush plane. They stop the assassins in a spectacular way, and learn more about the nature of the villainy and the villains. There are more twists and turns, and a cast of unique and interesting characters, including a combat-wounded police inspector, a dressmaker with a secret history, a clever career criminal, a terrorist, an aging leopard, a murdered Irish nun, and a gentle simpleton who falls in with bad companions. A climactic confrontation takes place at a televised press conference at ministry building between the corrupt Minister Nyoka Dikeledi and Ghost Force. Henry, the honey badger, puts his life on the line for his comrades in a scene that goes viral, and is viewed by a hundred million people around the world.
