Summary of The Lost Boys of the Sudan

We started when the guys were on the plane.  They were fascinated by the electricity and our way of life.  When they got to their apartment someone had to explain how to use everything.  They had to learn how to use a light switch, a refrigerator, a trashcan, a sink, and a bathroom.  They were shocked that they didn't have to share a bed; that they only had to share a room.  Then they went to the grocery store.  They had to ask someone who worked there what everything was.  They were excited about everything they saw.  They were also very upset to think about the people they left behind.  When they got there the US government had to pay for everything: the apartment, food, clothes, and all their living expenses.  After 3 months though they have to get a job and be able to support their selves.  Buy the sixth month they have to be paying the government back for their flight to get to the United States.  The person that I saw on the video had two jobs. One at a factory and one at McDonald's.  That is where we left off in the movie.
