I have watched this movie at least 10 times so far this month! A heart aching story about 4 Sudanese refugees that are picked from a government lottery and sent to the USA for their chance at a better life. Three brothers end up going to Kansas City and their sister surprisingly goes to Boston. Met by an unforgiving job placement worker (Reese Witherspoon) they soon find themselves battling their heartfelt homegrown desires against their new found curiosities. Unable to grasp the frequent waste of American culture they find themselves yearning for what it is we have that makes us comfortable and then chasing a common goal , freedom for everyone. Determined to be reunited with their sister again it becomes the motivation for all involved in their existence. The story ends with a twist that shows the true spirit of a soul that has experienced such atrocities is willing for those unknown to grow and a offer them a chance to become their fullest self. My favorite thing about this movie is that real refugees are preforming the story so it's not quite acting but reenacting their lives. I LOVE this soundtrack too!Get a sneek preview here: http://www.thegoodliemovie.com/tagged/videos
