our in-class movie

God Grew Tired of Us - the award-winning movie about the Lost Boys of Sudan - is underway.  Sections 02 and 03 need to do some research to enhance their appreciation of the film. Your homework is to use the CIA Factbook to discover some essential data about the country of Sudan: their GDP per capita, their type of government and date of independence, the transnational issues they face, the numbers of IDPs / refugees, and the natural resources that drive their economy.  (For the transnational part, I recommend reading the part on Disputes, then summing it up in your own words, especially as it relates to the movie.)  If you like, you may also post what you think of the film so far.
