Directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn

In the late 1980s, an estimated 25,0000 Sudanese “lost boys” arrived in the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya after being separated from their families during that country’s brutal civil war. They marched thousands of miles for several years over barren desert. At Kakuma, they lived a sparse existence with no real way of locating family members. In 2001, the U.S. invited about 4000 of them, now young men, to settle in America. Christopher Quinn, a first-time filmmaker, spent over four years documenting the lives of three of these lost boys as they leave Africa and then attempt to make sense of their new country. Culture shock does not even begin to describe their initial experiences, but eventually they begin to lead “normal” American lives. Yet they remain deeply committed, both spiritually and monetarily, to those lost boys left behind in Kakuma and to their struggling homeland.

Written and directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn, GOD GREW TIRED OF US is narrated by Nicole Kidman and produced by Quinn and Molly Bradford. The film is executive produced by Brad Pitt, Jack Schneider and Adam Schlesinger.
