A Must See



Whitney and I do not buy too many movies. We highly value which movies we place in our library. In fact, I don't think that we have purchased a film since we bought Crash, the academy award winner a couple of years ago. I showed a movie last night at Kinetic (the high school youth group at Glendale Presbyterian Chruch). The film is called God Grew Tired of Us: The Story of Lost Boys of Sudan. It won the Audience Prize and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and was adored by high school students from GPC. The film is about four different individuals from Sudan whom had survived the civil war, and were now pursuing safety through assimilation into America. If you get a chance, please see the film.
