The director of "Lost Boys of Sudan" and several Sudanese refugees will meet with audience members at a screening on Friday, November 3, in Loosmore Auditorium of the DeVos Center.
The PBS documentary follows two orphans through the longest-running civil war in Africa. They and others walked hundreds of miles, surviving gunfire and lion attacks, to a refugee camp in Kenya and from there were picked to go to the United States. Grand Rapids is home to more than 400 Lost Boys.
Director Megan Mylan will screen the film at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public; it's sponsored by the Padnos International Center, Lutheran Social Services, GRCC African Student Association and the Sudanese Boys Association.
