Review of God Grew Tired of Us (2006) by Dovglas P — 09 May 2009

One of the saddest films I think i've ever seen, this tear-jerking documentary truly put faces on the sudanese refugees i've been reading about in the book "What is the What?" it places more of an emphasis on the refugees' lives once they make it to the US, instead of their experiences getting to and staying in refugee camps in ethiopia and kenya, which is fascinating, as you see them struggle to adapt to thousands of new facets of a life that does not necessarily suit them.

this film is a must in order to understand the tragedy of refugees and the tremendous difficulties they live through...
