African Soul, American Heart, A documentary
20 years after fleeing civil war, a Lost Boy of Sudan returns to help rebuild his homeland.
African Soul, American Heart tells how one Fargo, North Dakota resident, a Sudanese Lost Boy who survived against all odds to thrive in his adopted country, now finds himself torn between responsibilities. He has been caring for younger siblings since 1998, and he has three children born in America. Yet he dreams of helping the orphaned children who live in his village in South Sudan.
"If these kids are raised from the age they are and given what they need, they will be good leaders in our nation or in our world."
Joseph Akol Makeer, December 2007
