God Grew Tired of Us

Have any of you seen this movie? R and I watched it last night and it was truly moving. It's a documentary that follows the "Lost Boys" of Sudan on their journey from peril at home to life in refugee camps to adjusting to life in America.

There are some funny parts to take away from the brutal reality of it all, and there are some really great "warm and fuzzy" moments as well.

I just learned that one of the "Lost Boys" , John Dau, wrote a book so I think I want to check that out cuz we all know how much more in depth books are than movies!

Anywho, I have added his cause on my facebook page and truly encourage any and all of you to watch this gem of a film.

Here is a link to his foundations home page for other information as well.
