Trailer - God Grew Tired of Us

Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, GOD GREW TIRED OF US explores the indomitable spirit of three "Lost Boys" from the Sudan who leave their homeland, triumph over seemingly insurmountable adversities and move to America, where they build active and fulfilling new lives but remain deeply committed to helping the friends and family they have left behind.

Orphaned by a tumultuous civil war and traveling barefoot across the sub-Saharan desert, John Bul Dau, Daniel Abol Pach and Panther Blor were among the 25,000 "Lost Boys" (ages 3 to 13) who fled villages, formed surrogate families and sought refuge from famine, disease, wild animals and attacks from rebel soldiers. Named by a journalist after Peter Pan's posse of orphans who protected and provided for each other, the "Lost Boys" traveled together for five years and against all odds crossed into the UN's refugee camp in Kakuma, Kenya. A journey's end for some, it was only the beginning for John, Daniel and Panther, who along with 3800 other young survivors, were selected to re-settle in the United States.

If this doesn't gives you goose bumbs and motivate you as well, then i don't know what will. Because my people has gone through so much. But yet we are still strong.Islamism has tried to break us but they had failed. God had blessed us in every way.

I love this movie so much

we watched it in English class and I loved it so much

[Komischer]

We watched this in my English class, and it inspired our class to bring some of the Lost Boys living in Cleveland to our school to inform the rest of the school. Now we have fundraisers all over our school to try to raise money to build much needed wells in Southern Sudan, in the former villages of these boys.

This is a issue I plan to pursue for my entire lifetime.

My favorite out of the boys in this movie is Daniel. He truely saw what was wrong with America.

God Grew Tired of Us is one of my favourite movies! John's book of the same name is also a favourite of mine. Amazing story, amazing young men. God truly has found you!! Wishing you peace and joy.

God bless the Lost Boys. If anyone enjoyed this film, I encourage you to read "What is the What", an autobiography of lost boy Achak Deng (ghost-written by the supremely talented Dave Eggers). It is equally moving.
