Eye-Opening submitted by Ilyjtwya on June 12, 2015, 8:31pm This movies made me much more aware of some of the challenges faced by war refugees.

wow!! submitted by Jackie77 on June 22, 2015, 10:59am Had some funny parts and some sad parts. Movie could have given more info, spending more time on "points" rather than throwing in a ton of stuff that didnt follow through. Extremely dissappointed at the way it ended.

The Good Lie submitted by SBNB on August 18, 2015, 8:18pm Good movie. Touching and tragic. I thought the ending was fitting given what we know about Mamere and his history, but it was disappointing that he wasn't able to follow through with his dream.

Inspiring submitted by DL on June 21, 2016, 11:07am The journey of these Sudan survivors is touching, educating and powerful.

movie submitted by dree411 on August 5, 2016, 10:33am A bit hard to follow and keep interested in

Good submitted by kelleyc on August 24, 2016, 7:04am Very interesting and enlightening.

Fantastic movie submitted by LVDS on August 27, 2018, 9:30pm Helps you feel the pain, joy, sacrifice and culture shock of a family that survived Sudanese terror.
As Americans we take way too much for granted. Let's be appreciative and reach out to our neighbors!!
