Today in human geography we had our first test; it was
mainly about all things having to do with the population. After the test we
started watching this movie called “God Grew Tired of Us”, the parts we watched
today started out with 3 people being interviewed, their names were Leopard,
John, and Daniel. They were all talking about having a war come to where they
lived which was Sudan, this war was somewhat over religion, children were
locked in houses and burned to death, and all males, no matter what their age
was, were to be shot and killed. People fled the city and walked through the
dessert and found refuge at a refugee camp for boys, at this camp they were
known as “The Lost Boys of Sudan.” At this camp they were provided food and
clothes, then later on they had to walk back through the desert, the
international aids came to their rescue in the desert and took them back to the
camp, they provided the boys with education and clothing, but some of the boys
got to come to America which they were really excited about. Some of the
pictures that were shown in this film are really gruesome, children of very
young ages had almost starved to death and looked like skeletons, watching this
movie really makes you realize how good we have it where we live and we should
be grateful.
