God Grew Tired of Us

CriticsCritics: 82
AudienceAudience: 7.7

A documentary follows three Sudanese refugees as they rebuild their lives in the United States after enduring war and years in a Kenyan refugee camp. Their adjustment brings moments of humor and wonder, along with difficult questions about home, opportunity, identity, and the cost of starting over.

My take

You’ll like this if you value humane, educational documentaries about displacement and adaptation, with humor alongside difficult realities; Not for you if you prefer lighter stories or less emotionally challenging viewing.
