Review of Lost Boys of Sudan (2003) by Aliya D — 22 Jun 2008
Told in simple but powerful images, Lost Boys of Sudan affectingly addresses themes of home, acceptance, family, and what it means to be a member of society - both America and the global community. The editing was terrible, a patchwork quilt of events rather than a concise look at these boys' lives.
The information was just too broad. They show us their struggle with grades, language, driving, sports, living together, paying rent, jobs, trying to find girlfriends, etc. I would've liked to have seen them focus on a select few items and get us into the microcosm of these issues.
Being an immigrant (and once a refugee), I suppose I judge this film and the boys' experiences differently.
