Benjamin and His Brother

Directed by Arthur Howes

1999 – 87'

Synopsis

Years of war and ethnic conflict in the Sudan have created a generation of young men, known as the “Lost Boys”, who have spent more years in refugee camps than in their home communities. This intimate film recounts the story of Benjamin and William Deng, brothers joined in the struggle of a seemingly never-ending exile, who are then separated when one is accepted into a United States resettlement program while the other remains in a Kenyan refugee camp.
