That was touching and brought tears from my eyes. The video was made perfectly. Job well done.

it makes me sad that all people can do when they see a video, created by a seventh grader, a twelve year old kid, to raise awareness of terrible things that happened to a group of children, is argue. If you don't think she did it 'right', then go do it better yourself. But because of this video, suburban American middle school students (like myself at the time this video was created) were able to see and know for themselves what human cruelty can cause.

Very touching, great job for seventh graders. Thanks for sharing the story even if a few of the facts aren't accurate. Hope you got an "A." Visit the "Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan" site for more info and for ways to help the Lost Boys & S. Sudanese people. some photos seen in this video of people helping the Lost Boys were taken from the Alliance site (without permission or notation). Also, read "The Journey of the Lost Boys" for more information about the story of the Lost Boys.

They actually lived in Syracuse , new york. I just watch e a doccumentary about them today.

Please don't be too smart. I am very well educated. I have lived in Sudan for 15 years. Those whom you worked for are economical refugees. If you are trying to make a living or build your personality by working what what call lost boys. You are lost. Africa has got their African to protect and fight for. You are spoiling the mind of 7 grader. Encourage them to support and make a movie about Katrina and Haiti. Have you seen a movie about Katrina? Ha ha give me a break man. You are one of those

alexrademacher: This film was made by a 7th grade social studies class, not Sudanese politicians. Get your facts straight before you start shooting off your mouth. You clearly do not understand the situation or the scope of the problems in Sudan or Africa in general.  Educate yourself! There is plenty of information on the web for you to do so!!!

Of course Haiti needs help, and they have for a long time-way before the earthquake-and they will for a long time to come.This is in no way a competition. Caring about Human Rights means that you care about ALL people; not just certain ones.Sudan is still in desperate need of help from the international community & for good reasons, staring with the fact that the reason the situation there is so dire is because of outside countries going into Sudan & causing the problems in the 1st place.

I work with Sudanese people that ARE the former Lost Boys themselves. They are not politicians, nor are they doing work to benefit themselves. They work as non-profit groups to benefit people in Sudan and to educate people of the world about their story. It is precisely that which you talk about, Africans standing up for themselves. They are most certainly not beggars nor are they useless human beings.

Hiati need the help. Those politicain inside and outside Sudan are making movies and creating issue to earn money. Please don't follow them. African need to stand for themselves, like what happened in South Africa and so on. Dependin on charity like beggers and uselelss human
