For anyone who is intersted, Aegis have been informed of a very topical event being hosted in the School of Law on Monday Human Rights Film Series presents ‘God Grew Tired of Us’ DATE: Monday 10 November 2014 TIME: 18.15 LOCATION:B63, Law and Social Sciences building (LASS) This week the Human Rights Film Series presents God Grew Tired of Us. The film follows three of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”, a group of some 25,000 young men who have fled the wars in Sudan since the 1980s, and their experiences as they move to the United States. The film explores many of the difficulties surrounding integration as well as the struggles of having to completely leave your previous life behind and start anew. These three boys have uprooted their lives and must now learn to adapt to the shock of being thrust into the economically intense culture of the United States, learning new customs, adapting to new and strange foods, coping with the ordeal of getting, and keeping a job, while never forgetting the life they left behind in Africa. They dedicate themselves to doing whatever they can to help those they left behind in the refugee camps in Africa, and to discovering the fate of their parents and family. The film gives insight into the challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers in Western countries including the United Kingdom. Trailer: youtube/watch?v=32IxyvoSZKo
