God Grew Tired of Us.

God Grew Tired of Us has been released on DVD. It is a movie that follows a small group of Sudanese men – the lost boys of Sudan – that move from an “interim” refugee camp in Kenya – where they had been for 10 years – to the United States. It’s a touching true story that makes one think of all the things we have available to us here in the U.S. that we take for granted. There are a lot of overweight, arrogant, inconsiderate, “woe is me” people that need to take a look at this movie.

There is a scene where a small group of men play chess to pass the time away in the camp, which they have measured in years. I highly recommend watching this movie. It’s narrated by Nicole Kidman, and is rated PG. There are a few scenes early on that may be disturbing. But the movie as a whole is very positive and enlightening.

I also recommend having a look at the following -
