Summary: Three young men leave behind a land in chaos to find new lives in a thoroughly different culture in this documentary. As the African nation of Sudan fell into political disarray near the dawn of the 21st century, with unspeakable violence following in its wake, thousands of refugees attempted to flee the country, making their way into Kenya in hopes of earning passage elsewhere.
Jon Bul Dau, Daniel Abu Pach, and Panther Bior were three such people who eventually came to the United States, and filmmaker Christopher Quinn spent four years following them on their journey in a new and unfamiliar land.
In God Grew Tired of Us, Quinn documents the young men as they struggle to build new lives for themselves, acquaint themselves with the "American" way of doing things, the difficulties of being black in a primarily white culture, and try to track down the friends and family they were forced to leave behind. God Grew Tired of Us received its North American premier at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival; actor Brad Pitt served as...

Any American would feel the same when going to Sudan. Not knowing how things are there any more than they know how it is here. I would love to go and experience the culture there. No one is stupid here. No reason for anyone to throw insults anywhere. I wish I could have been a part of showing them around America and teaching them things. Not everyone is mean here.

Me and my friends met Daniel last year. He looked through my math textbook and got really excited because he loves education. Then before he left, he gave us a twenty dollar bill and told us to use it to help someone in need. Life changing <3

This was a wonderful, moving documentary. I just wanted to give them all hugs. These are examples of people who come to America and make it a better place.

The description says National Geographic, and that's bullcrap. These are clips from one of the best documentaries you will ever see, called God Grew Tired Of Us.
One of these guys achieved, in four years, to get a masters degree in business and organize a nationwide cultural institution for people from Sudan. All this after growing up in a country with no electricity and a ghastly civil war.
In four years he did more than most people do in their lifetime.

@1971ojoalparche1971 I had discovered this little movie on national geographic website. After I had searched this topic, I discovered that this is only a part of the movie released in 2006. Now I changed the description. Hope that you can see the difference.
