The end for the Lost Boys

Today in Human Geo class, we finished “God Grew Tired of Us.” I really enjoyed this documentary. It really made me think about how it is in other countries. As we finished the movie, there was a part where John and his mother finally got to see each other. It was 17 years since they had last seen each other. When John Dau arrived at the airport and saw his mother, he was so overjoyed. They both cried in happiness that they finally got to see each other again. John’s mom was so happy that she went throughout the airport singing an African celebration song. I can’t imagine how awesome it must have felt to see your parents after 17 years of never seeing them. At the end of the movie, it said where the Daniel, Panther, and John have gone with their lives. Panther returned to America got married, got his bachelor’s degree in economics at the University of Pittsburg, and he is planning on opening a school in Africa. John got a bachelor’s degree at Syracuse, started a non-profit foundation, found his mother, and is planning on building a medical clinic in his home town. Daniel on the other hand was not as lucky. He is still in America and continue to live in Pittsburg Job Corps and is taking clad at a community college. He has not located any family members.
