“The Good Lie” from the producers who brought you “The Blind Side” and starring Academy Award Winning actress Reese Witherspoon, chronicles the journeys of the Lost Boys of Sudan. Orphaned by the brutal Civil war in Sudan that began in 1983, these young victims traveled as many as a thousand miles on foot in search of safety. Fifteen years later, a humanitarian effort would bring 3600 lost boys and girls to America.

Go behind the scenes with The Lost Boys and their direct descendants, who share their personal stories of a journey toward freedom and a better life in this powerful featurette. Their experiences will move you. For more on “The Good Lie,” go to http://www.thegoodliemovie.com/ and be sure to see the movie, in theaters Oct.3.
