Film documents journey of Sudanese refugees
 |
The International Student Centre International Wednesdays documentary series presents God Grew Tired Of Us, today at noon in the centre, room 132 Cody Hall.~
This 2006 film chronicles the journey of three young southern Sudanese men—John Dau, Daniel Pach and Panther Bior—to the United States, where they strive for a brighter future. As young boys in the 1980s, they had walked a thousand miles to escape their war-ridden homeland, and then had to make another arduous journey to escape Ethiopia.
During the five years they walked in search of safety, thousands died from starvation, dehydration, bomb raids and genocidal murder. Finally, they found relative safety in a Kenyan refugee camp.
International Wednesdays screenings are free and open to the public. |
