Last night we watched God Grew Tired of Us, a documentary telling the story of the Lost Boys of Sudan. The film focusses on the lives of three individuals who were given the opportunity to escape the huge UN refugee camp at Kakuma, Kenya to pursue life in America. The story was told with compassion, and I was particularly struck by the difference between the boys life in the refugee camp, which was filled with friendship, community and hunger and their lonely, but comfort-filled existence in the US.
