Sudan's Muslim majority in the north brutally attacks the Christian and animist south for its oil. Many were massacred, enslaved and driven from their homes. A group of survivors walked to Ethiopia. In 1991, they were once again forced to flee this time to Kenya. There some in the camp get relocated to America as refugees. The culture shock and the isolation does take a toll on some of the lost boys.
This seems to be a simple story to tell. It starts by recounting the lost boys' devastating journey. The culture shock of them trying to understand their new surrounding is funny and endearing. The surprise comes when the boys struggle in the new world. It is the twists from living in the west that is the most fascinating. It's not all happy endings but it is not all sadness either. Life continues on.
