Filmmaker to show documentary on Darfur

Award-winning filmmaker Christopher Quinn will show his documentary about Sudan’s Lost Boys tonight at the Whittenberger Auditorium in the Indiana Memorial Union. \nThe documentary, “God Grew Tired of Us” follows several of the “Lost Boys of Sudan” who were forced to flee as the Sudanese government began to attack their villages, according to a press release from Students Taking Action Now: Darfur. \nAs many as 27,000 Lost Boys were invited to the U.S. Quinn follows the lives of three of these boys as they struggle with life in the Western world. \nQuinn studied documentary and filmmaking at the Anthropology Film Center in Santa Fe, N.M., and is currently developing a fictional feature-length film titled “Drinking with Lee Marvin,” according to his Web site. Quinn has worked in television with A&E, ABC, the BBC, the National Geographic Channel and the Discovery Channel. \nSponsored by the student group Students Taking Action Now: Darfur, the event includes showing the movie from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m and a lecture by Quinn and a question and answer session following the film.
