God Grew Tired of Us

After raising themselves in the desert along with thousands of other "lost boys," Sudanese refugees find their way to America, where they experience electricity, running water and supermarkets for the first time. Capturing their wonder at things Westerners take for granted, this documentary, an award winner at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, paints an intimate portrait of strangers in a strange land.
