God Grew Tired of Us (Movie Review)

This movie documents the pilgrimage of a group of Africans(Sudan) known as "Lost Boys" as they travel from a war torn region to America. They are overwhelmed with their encounter with American life and culture as they both adapt and try to retain their own culture. This is a great movie for people to get a glimpse at what life is like for some outside of the USA. They are shocked to have electricity. They try to connect Santa Clause to Jesus. They cannot understand the lack of a sense of community--why people are so unfriendly in America. They wonder if New Yorkers have to go to the river to get their water. It's a great movie.
