Four Sudanese children are orphaned after their village is massacred in the Second Sudanese Civil War. Consequently, they make an arduous and dangerous trek through the plains, enduring hardship, death and sacrifice all the way until they reach safety in a refugee camp in Kenya. Years later, these youths are among 3600 selected for resettlement in America, only to have the one girl among them sent to Boston, while the three boys must to make a new life in Kansas City. Together, these young men must adjust to an alien culture even as the emotional baggage of their past haunts them. However, these newcomers, and their new friends like employment counselor Carrie Davis, strive to understand each other in this new home, as they make peace with their histories in a challenge that will change all their lives.

THIS TRAILER SUCKS. The movie is MUCH better than they depict here. It actually criticises American culture and definitely does not depict them as saviours. Such a shitty misrepresentation of a great film and story. Also the actors were actually refugees themselves. - @Saturday, July 8, 2017 11:26 AM

this movie was honestly great. the trailer, however, is horrible. It's making it seem like Reese's character is the main hero of the story when in reality she has a much smaller role. the Sudanese actors are the true heroes and they should've been the main focus of the marketing. - @Wednesday, December 14, 2016 2:07 AM

Look, the trailer is just awful. Trailer message is that 'merica is great, free democracy, chance for everyone and much more of the bullshit they are trying to sell to the world. Thats why I hate it, but the movie is a whole another story, trust me, just watch it and dont go all political about it. Movie makes you realize how small things can make someone happy, and how your problems like phones not working or why justin and selena arent together anymore are not that important. Just watch it.

I just watched this movie. What touched me the most? The HONOR these young men and their sister had amongst them. I did not see this movie as "going to America is a great thing" - I saw the dignity, the truthfulness and yes, the honor of these young people. We should all learn a lesson from them. - @Sunday, April 24, 2016 11:41 PM

When you're white and you want to help someone who just happens to be a different race? White man/woman must be trying to be the savior so they look good. When you're white and you do nothing to help people who just happen to be a different race? White man/woman MUST be a racist, and should be held responsible for EVERY little thing that afflicts someone of a different color. In today's world, being white mainly means ONE thing- you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. - @Friday, February 26, 2016 1:30 AM
