Review of God Grew Tired of Us (2006) by Bradley H — 02 Aug 2011

A truly great documentary that one HAS to see. It documents the life of three young men who had to leave their country and find a new home, the journey from Sudan to the US, from living with nothing to learning what a shower is or a fridge, from being part of a huge family to the loneliness abroad, from excitement about a new world to the heartache of leaving the loved ones behind and keep on living while others die.

It is not only another harsh wake up call when it comes to Sudans problems but we should take a bow to people who made something out of nothing and at the same time never ever forgot where they come from and always supported their homeland - not with guns or military like in the western countries, but with a will that was born through simple genuine love. Impressive.
