Discourse in "God Grew Tired of Us"

The documentary "God Grew Tired of Us" follows three of Sudan's "Lost Boys" in their journey to the U.S. They are learning to live in the culture of the states and know very little about how to live and work here.

The clip below shows the Discourses of the boys and the tension they cause with American culture. The clip opens with one of the boys seeing Santa Claus in a shopping mall and asking the question what Santa has to do with the story of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ. The clip continues with the commentary of another boy struggling with the unkindness of Americans vs. the kindness of Sudanese people. He explains a scenario where in his culture you are able to talk to people you don't know and even go to a strangers's house to ask for help. Differently, in America, he finds out that people do not appreciate or welcome strangers into their house.

This shows the Discourse of cultures and nations and also religions.
