Verbal Perambulation

About the Movie:

Newmarket Films presents a National Geographic Films/LBS Production – GOD GREW TIRED OF US, an inspirational movie about three young Sudanese men who – after 10 years wandering the African wilderness – fly to their new homes in the United States. Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, GOD GREW TIRED OF US shows how these three astonishing “Lost Boys” triumph over insurmountable adversities, form a family, adjust to a new culture, and
continue to work for those left behind. Narrated by Nicole Kidman. Directed by Christopher Quinn. Rating: PG. Running Time: 88 minutes.
