God Grew Tired of Us

God Grew Tired of Us chronicles the arduous journey of three Southern Sudanese men, John Bul Dau, Daniel Pach and Panther Bior, to the United States where they strive for a brighter future.

During the five years they walked in search of safety, thousands died from starvation, dehydration, bomb raids and genocidal murder.

In 2001, 3,600 lost boys, including John, Daniel and Panther, were invited by the United States to live in America.

Assisted by Catholic Charities International, the three boys uproot their lives and once again embark on a journey, leaving behind thousands of other refugees who, in the course of their traumatic odyssey, have become their adopted extended family.

The title of the documentary is a quote from John Dau discussing the despair he and other Sudanese felt during the civil war.
