The Lost Boys of the Sudan

GOD GREW TIRED OF US – a documentary by Christopher Dillon Quinn 2005 (89 min)

Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival

This touching and inspiring film traces the journey of three of the thousands of Sudan’s Lost Boys who trek barefoot for five years across barren desert to reach the UN refugee camp in Kenya. Over 3000 of them are then resettled in the US. They experience the modern world with the eyes of innocence as they grow accustomed to a new way of life, yet they never lose sight of those who were left behind and their desire to help them as well.

“…a must-see, if only to remind viewers of the courage, enterprise and integrity that are so often obscured in discussions about immigration.” The Washington Post
