'Lost Boys' to be shown

September 16 , 2006

"The Lost Boys of Sudan," an Emmy-nominated documentary, will be viewed Monday at the Rochester Public Library and will be followed by a discussion about the plight of thousands of young Sudanese boys who arrived in the United States as refugees of the civil war that has torn their country.

The event is free.

The film follows the lives of Peter Kon Dut and Santino Majok Chuor, two boys who were born in Sudan during its civil war. They lost their families to murder and slavery and made their way to refugee camps, along with 20,000 others like them.

They often are called "The Lost Boys Of Sudan," and have been coming to the United States since 2001.

The film is part of a series sponsored by the Rochester Public Library and the Diversity Council.

Diversity Council facilitators will lead discussion following the 87-minute film.
