Emperor Haile Selassie catches the last train out of Ethiopia. His mission: to remind the old powers that they made a promise. 

Main sources were  King of Kings: The Triumph and Tragedy of Emperor Haile Selassie 1 of Ethiopia by Asfa-Wossen Asserate, A History of Ethiopia by Harold G Marcus, and Emperor Haile Selassie by Bereket Habte Selassie. The full text of the League of Nations speech is here, and a newsreel of Haile Selassie's entrance to Geneva can be found here

Memory sections used Chris Zabriskie's The Hopeful Future is all I've ever known and Podington Bear's Chrome Muffler. Train music was Lonesome Cactus Groove by Don Julin and the League of Nations showdown music was Patrick Smith's Pass the Spaghetti. Outro is Podington Bear's Afterglow.
