Lifestories: The Lost Boys of Sudan Trailer

'Lifestories: The Lost Boys of Sudan' explores the lives of eight Sudanese refugees. Displaced from their homes in the late 1980's due to a brutal civil war, the youngest boys were forced to flee alone. Pitted against an Arab Militia, wild animals, starvation, and thirst the boys survived a trek of 1,000 miles and twelve years in refugee camps before coming to the United States. Enduring such unimaginable hardships left them with many stories to tell. In their own voices, these are their stories.

I have a very good friend here in Northern KY that is one of the Lost Boys. He has told me some stories of what he went through and it is just heart-wrenching. Thank God for the wonderful men and women from the international community that helped these boys escape brutal hardships. May God Bless the Boys and all those who helped them.

i cried in front of my family watching this, i seriously couldn't stop myself

I am from Brazil and had the opportunity to work in a mission in Africa, Sudan. I know exactly how hard is the life there. I know there are other people with the same problem or even worse. I think their lives are more exposed to the world because people who were there opened their mouth and told the world the saga of the Lost Boys. In my opinion the little boys who walked thousand of miles deserve the recognition of the human being.
