God Grew Tired of Us, a 2005 sociopolitical documentary film about three "Lost Boys" from Sudan who move to America and build new lives for themselves. While they are happy making the most of fulfilling their dreams in the States they remain committed to helping their friends and family left.

 

With narration by Nicole Kidman, this documentary tells the story of John Bul Dau, Daniel Abol Pach and Panther Blor and how against all odds, they were able to get out of war-torn sub-Saharan Africa. They are just a few of the 25,000 3-13-year-old "Lost Boys" fleeing rebel soldiers, famine and through the UN 3,800 would eventually be resettled in the United States after a 5-year-long journey.

 

For this incredible story "God Grew Tired of Us" won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival in 2006. To this day it remains one of the most poignant documentaries about immigration.
