Summary
God Grew Tired Of Us is a 2006 documentary film about three boys from the "Lost Boys of Sudan", a group composed of 25,000 men who fled the wars in Sudan relating to 1980. The film covers their experiences as the flee from the horrible war only to their paths in the United States.

Lost Boys of Sudan includes around 25,000 young men from the tribes composed of the Nuer and Dinka groups. These groups were captured, killed, and tortured during their Second Sudanese Civil War. Their were about 2.5 million men killed and millions more were orphaned. (97)

Critical Question
I will be comparing these two films by looking into how film makers incorporate cultural identity when covering a documentary. How do film makers choose what perspective they should identify in a documentary. I also want to compare how both films idolize everyday life in another country compared to the United State. (150)
