Lost Boys of Sudan is a feature-length documentary that follows two young refugees of Sudan’s civil war through their first year in America. As small boys, they lost their parents to war and walked hundreds of miles across hostile African desert. After a decade in a refugee camp, they are coming to the U.S. Their struggle to make new lives for themselves will force the audience to rethink what it means to be an American.
