Movie Review: "God Grew Tired of Us"

This National Geographic documentary chronicles the saga of the Southern Sudanese Christian “Lost Boys.” The film centers around the lives John, Daniel and Panther. Most of their families are killed by Moslem soldiers from northern Sudan. The soldiers systematically kill all males- regardless of age. Without any adult supervision over 25,000 young boys journey a thousand mile to Ethiopia then finally to a refugee camp in Kenya. Through the help of American relief agencies, 3,000 of them make their way to the United States. They learn to adapt to the shock of entering an economically intense American culture, learn to eat new foods and cope with work and missing their loved ones in Africa. This movie is very informative, enlightening, inspirational, yet entertaining.
