Check out the DVD Lost Boys of Sudan

Spokane has become home to refugees from Southeast Asia, Central America, Russia and its neighbors, and now from Africa. Many of our new residents are from the Sudan. Find out what it was like to be caught up in and then flee a terrible civil war, finally settling in a land and society utterly unlike their own.

Check out the DVD The Lost Boys of Sudan, the story of two boys of the Dinka tribe who end up in Texas. It is out on the shelves with the nonfiction books about other cultures: 305.8927 LOST. All you need is your library card and you can check it out for a week.

Another film on young people from the Sudan who settled in Seattle is available for viewing in the library or for classroom use. Go to the Media Distribution office on the lower level for this one:
