Summary: Touching, sad, funny, triumphant, eye opening
Comment: This movie is so well done and touches the heart on many levels. It really helps Americans see into a culture very different than our own, and makes you see our own culture through new eyes. It is a documentary, but has all the qualities of drama/adventure movie.

Summary: A Survival Story!!! ...Genocide!!
Comment:
...many people around the world probably will never comprehend the things these kids endured!!!
Seeing, hearing about, re-enacting, etc... will never even come close to demonstrating the actual tragedy and horror that goes on every day on this planet.
Very sad but very real...

Summary: Compelling, Enlightening Must-See Documentary
Comment: Having known little about the past and current history of the civil war in Sudan, I was immensely enlightened about the struggle, pain, courage, and determination of the Lost Boys of Sudan, specifically the group of boys this film followed. This wonderfully done documentary reveals the reality these boys went through - from their journey 1000 across the desert into Ethiopia and Kenya, to their difficult adjustment and hard work in America and their road to a brighter future.
This documentary is so poignant and both heartwarming and heartwrenching, and made me more appreciative of my life here in America and more aware of the horrendous experiences of others hurt by war, conflict, and poverty. And while I cried for the suffering of the Lost Boys, I also cried joyful tears for the good they achieved, and their determination, courage, and hard work of these men left me feeling hopeful - for despite the immense physical, mental, and spiritual pain they suffered, these men remained selfless, giving, kind, and never gave up.
Everyone should see the movie, if for nothing else than to increase awareness about the struggles of others and our need to reach out to them.

An award-winning, critically acclaimed film, narrated by Nicole Kidman, God Grew Tired of Us explores the indomitable spirit of three "Lost Boys" from the Sudan who are forced to leave their homeland due to a tumultuous civil war. The film chronicles their triumph over seemingly insurmountable adversities and a relocation to America, where the Lost Boys build active and fulfilling new lives but remain deeply committed to helping friends and family they have left behind. Orphaned by a tumultuous civil war and traveling barefoot across the sub-Saharan desert, John Bul Dau, Daniel Abol Pach and Panther Blor were among the 25,000 "Lost Boys" (ages 3 to 13) who fled villages, formed surrogate families and sought refuge from famine, disease, wild animals and attacks from rebel soldiers. Named by a journalist after Peter Pan’s posse of orphans who protected and provided for each other, the "Lost Boys" traveled together for five years and against all odds crossed into the UN’s refugee camp in Kakuma, Kenya. A journey’s end for some, it was only the beginning for John, Daniel and Panther, who along with 3800 other young survivors, were selected to re-settle in the United States.
