Film Description

Lost Boys of Sudan is an award-winning documentary that follows two Sudanese refugees on an extraordinary journey from Africa to America. Orphaned as young boys in one of Africa's cruelest civil wars, Peter Dut and Santino Chuor survived lion attacks and militia gunfire to reach a refugee camp in Kenya along with thousands of other children. From there, remarkably, they were chosen to come to America. Safe at last from physical danger and hunger, a world away from home, they find themselves confronted with the abundance and alienation of contemporary American suburbia.

"Fascinating!" Elvis Mitchell, New York Times

"Deeply moving! One for your must-see list!"
-Jan Stuart, Newsday

“Remarkable! This film should be required viewing for all Americans. For those of us born in the land of plenty, it's easy to forget that America
remains a nation of struggling immigrants.”
–Allison Benedik, Chicago Tribune
