Lost Boys of Sudan is a feature-length 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.
“An extraordinarily rich documentary,one of the best I’ve seen!”
–Henry Sheehan, NPR’s Film Week
“A fascinating and sobering glimpse into… lives that make us re-examine our own priorities.”
–Robert Butler, Kansas City Star
