Lost Boys of Sudan

4.5 stars out of 5.

This documentary is a done in a very unusual style. There is not much in the way of commentary or interviews. Basically the cameras follow 2 boys around and film their lives. The boys come from Sudan, where war has left them stranded in a refugee camp for years. After many years, they are finally being moved to the US to start a new life (Houston, no less!).

The odds against these boys succeeding in America are legion. It is a very sad movie. You would think moving from a refugee camp to America would be a great blessing. By the end of this documentary I was not sure. I would highly recommend this documentary to everybody. It is fairly short (90 min or so) and has great special features.
