Rebuilding Hope: Pre-Trip Thoughts from Former "Lost Boys"

Gabriel Deng, Koor Garang and Garang Mayuol fled Sudan as children when their villages were attacked. Pulitzer Center grant recipients Jen Marlowe and David Morse return to Sudan with these "lost boys" as they discover the fate of their families, establish a school, help a clinic, and discuss with the Southern Sudanese people their own thoughts, hopes, and fears for the future. Their reporting will explore the connections between the conflict in South Sudan and in other parts of the country, including Darfur, probing larger questions of identity and ethnicity.

This report is part of Pulitzer Center-sponsored project "South Sudan: Rebuilding Hope" (http://bit.ly/s2HQIu) by documentary maker Jen Marlowe and writer David Morse.
