Rated: PG
This documentary traces some of the Sudan boys, aka, "The Lost Boys", as they leave the refugee camp and acculmulate to America. Since my thirteen-year-old has read a plethora of books about the "The Lost Boys" and African refugee camps the past two weeks, I wanted to strengthen his schema through different media. At some points it was heartbreaking. The viewer grows to love the boys and want to see them happy.
Unfortunately, the DVD we borrowed was scratched, so we could not watch at least three chapters.
Nicole Kidman narrates it.
Warning: I would not recommend it for younger kids as the boys share about the violence and death of their families. It was an emotional documentary, not for the sensitive viewer. They also revealed how the enemy would poke holes in their testes so they could not reproduce (this was not shown-just stated).
*Highly recommend.
