Pozabljeni otroci

Slovenski opis filma:

Režiser nagrajenega dokumentarca Christopher Quinn je v obdobju snemanja sledil trem sudanskim fantom, ki so se v poznih 80. letih 20. stoletja bosih nog odpravili na mučno pot skozi puščavo v upanju na boljše življenje. Iz države jih je pregnala državljanska vojna, zavetje pa so našli v ZDA, kjer so se morali spoprijeti z novim, zanje nenavadnim načinom življenja.

Originalni opis filma:

In 1987, Sudan's Muslim government pronounced death to all males in the Christian south: 27,000 boys fled to Ethiopia on foot. In 1991, they were forced to flee to Kenya; 12,000 survived to live in a U.N. camp in Kakuma. Archival footage documents the 1,000 mile flight; we see life in the camp. We follow three young men who repatriate to the U.S. John Bul Dau goes to Syracuse, and by the film's end, becomes a spokesperson for the Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan; Daniel Abol Pach and Panther Bior go to Pittsburgh. All work several jobs, send money back to the camp, search for relatives lost in the civil war, acclimatize to the U.S., seek an education, and miss their homeland.
