God Grew Tired of Us
I saw a movie recently that really touched me. It's God Grew Tired of Us. It's a documentary about a group of young men called the "Lost Boys" who were part of a group of approx. 67,000 orphaned children, mostly boys from babies to teenagers who were forced to flee their homeland of Sudan and "grow up" in refugee camps with basically each other as surrogate family members. A few of them were lucky enough to be able to resettle in America but often missed their friends and family and found that adjusting to the new culture in America was difficult. It was inspiring to see what people in unimaginable circumstances can survive and even rise above. It also made me wish as a country we had and would do more.
