Their journey isn't over -- many in Africa still desperately need help -- but the hope and opportunities America offers are a grand place to start.

There's no way to not like [John] Dau. Or for that matter, God Grew Tired of Us.

fresh:
Not as good, nor as complex, as The Lost Boys, but that doesn't make the story of mass annihilation, sprawling refugee camps, the generosity of Americans, and the resilience of a handful of Sudanese survivors any less worthy of telling -- again.

fresh:
The film is not a pity party, it's a story of resilient people bearing up under conditions few of us could imagine.

fresh:
Too often with documentaries, we get only the tears. There is no second act or resolution. Christopher Quinn's God Grew Tired of Us gives us reason to hope about a human catastrophe.
