We watched this movie last night.
It’s about Sudanese refugee boys who flee for their lives to Ethiopia and then to Kenya. In Kenya they live in a refugee camp until some of them are given the opportunity to start a new life in the United States. It’s a powerful movie about some of the harsh realities in this world and how some very resilient people courageously make their way through the variety of challenges they face.
Those people you see in the films are not actors. They are actual participants in the events being described. It’s a wonderful film.

Ah well, this is still a great post.

Good timing. We just watched this last night (it’s been on the Netflix queue for a long time and finally made it to the top). Very powerful.
