God Grew Tired of US
The movie we are watching in Human Geography class is called "God Grew Tired of Us". This movie is a very emotional and touching movie that covers an impact that Northern Sudan caused. Because of Northern Sudan's greed for the oil fields in Southern Sudan. This civil war caused kayos throughout all of Southern Sudan. People were scared, raped, and even killed. The young boys of Southern Sudan knew they had to leave their country behind. These boys, called the lost boys, had to endure a very painful journey to get to a safer place. The lost boys even had to survive bombings and wild animal attacks. Once the lost boys got to a refugee camp in Kenya, they knew that their life would still be full of misery and sadness. The film focuses on three main lost boys, Daniel, Panther, and John. These men were chosen to go to America and make a living there. My favorite part of the whole movie so far, was watching these men figure out what normal American lives are like. The look on their faces when they saw a lamp light up was so cute. I can't wait to watch the rest of the movie!
