  \n\nGod Grew Tired of Us (2006-U.S.-89 min.) directed by Christopher Dillo
 n Quinn and Tommy Walker\n\n“Do you have a lot of freedom here that you did
 n’t have?” a woman asks\, while floating in a public pool in Pittsburgh. Wi
 th her are Panther Bior and Daniel Abol Pach\, refugees since childhood fro
 m their villages in the south of war-torn Sudan. After wandering sub-Sahara
 n Africa on the brink of starvation and ten more years spent in a U.N. camp
  in Kakuma\, Kenya\, they’ve come to the U.S. for a home\, for opportunity\
 , for hope. They’ll also find sprinkled doughnuts\, packaged food\, second 
 and third jobs\, isolation\, homesickness\, survivor’s guilt\, racism\, dep
 ression\, and the tyranny of the alarm clock. Winner of the Audience Award 
 and Grand Jury Prize for documentary at Sundance 2006\, the film follows th
 ree “lost boys” – also including John Bul Dau\, a camp leader who evolves i
 nto an official advocate for the diaspora of young people resettled from th
 eir homeland – to Pittsburgh and Syracuse\, N.Y.\, chronicling three years 
 of their journey… [D]irectors Quinn and Walker delve into the lives of thei
 r subjects with a fly-on-the-wall candor\, revealing as much about American
  life as they do of African life. 2006 Grand Jury Prize Winner for Document
 ary Film and 2006 Audience Award Winner for Documentary Film\, Sundance Fil
 m Festival.\n\n \n\nBentley’s Fall 2025 International Film Series is made p
