'God Grew Tired Of Us' For National Geographic
[Friday, September 8th, 2006]National Geographic Films has taken a partnership stake in Christopher Quinn's God Grew Tired of Us, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The movie won this year's Sundance Film Festival grand jury prize and Audience Award for documentary feature.
The feature is based on true events in the late 1980s, when 27,000 Sudanese "lost boys"–some just toddlers–marched barefoot over thousands of miles of barren desert, seeking safe haven from the brutal civil war raging in their homeland. Half died from bombing raids and starvation; the others reside together in Kenya's Kakuna refugee camp, with few prospects. Recently, the U.S. invited some of the boys to settle in America.
