God Grew Tired of Us
(Christopher Dillon Quinn and Tommy Walker, USA, 89 min., 35mm, 2006)
Exploring the indomitable spirit of three “Lost Boys” from the Sudan, a tumultuous civil war orphaned John, Daniel and Panther, and they fled across sub-Saharan desert. Forming surrogate families they sought refuge from famine, disease, wild animals and rebel soldier attacks. After five years, they crossed into the UN's refugee camp in Kenya. Finally resettled in the United States , they build new lives but remain deeply committed to helping the friends and family they left behind.
John Bul Dau, subject of God Grew Tired of Us, will be the guest speaker for the Wednesday November 14th Distinguished Lecture Series.
