GOD GREW TIRED OF US: THE STORY OF LOST BOYS OF SUDAN is currently out in selected theaters. Once in the U.S., Panther Bior and Daniel Abul Pach (who were sent to Pittsburgh) and John Bul Dau (who went to Syracuse) deal with survivor's guilt as well as culture shock and financial travails. Ultimately, John gets news that few of his fellow lost boys ever will: Some of his family is still alive. This leads to a reunion that caps the documentary, giving the dismal tale an uplifting outcome. In theory, it may seem inappropriate that any account of Sudan's lost boys would have a happy ending. In practice, however, it's altogether satisfying. Directed by Christopher Quinn.
