Vojtěch Bílý was spending a year as a volunteer teacher in the Central African Republic when civil war broke out, driving over a million inhabitants from their homes. Working at a Carmelite mission that was transformed into a refugee camp, he monitored war crimes and witnessed the expulsion of Muslims, a move that severed tribal and friendly ties. Bílý has documented his experiences in the book Když padají manga (When Mangoes Fall).
He will present it alongside co-author Alenou Scheinostová.
