This documentary by Christopher Quinn, with the support of the likes of Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman, helps US understand what war and famine and bigotry is doing to the children in so much of Africa, a continent I've never visited because of that, frankly. But I am thinking of volunteering to teach and otherwise help out at Oprah's school in South Africa. Africa is a continent, not a country, and it has thousands of ethnic groups and even more stories to tell. BUT...
"God Grew Tired Of Us" is making its way around the nation, telling the story of four of at least 25,000 "lost boys" through their journies from the hell they endured in the Sudan in Africa to the safety they more or less found in the US. NYC, LA, San Fran, Atlanta, Washington DC, Boston, St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville, Dallas, Seattle, Pittsburgh --- hey, wherever you are, look for this film where screenings are taking place and get people together to discuss it.
