God Grew Tired of Us is a documentary that was filmed as several of Sudan's "Lost Boys" resettled in the US and learned their way through a culture that was, in nearly every way, different from what they had known.
One of the "boys" talks about how, at thirteen, he had been put in charge of hundreds upon hundreds of younger children, simply because he was one of the tallest, and there were no grown-ups to shoulder the job.
12,000 children survived a march from Sudan to Ethiopia, and then back through Sudan, from Ethiopia to Kenya. On their own. With no grown-ups. With little food. With no medicine. While soldiers shot at them from the sky.
They deserve for their story to be seen. Do one thing. Carve out the time to watch this documentary.
