GLOBAL MIGRATION FILM FESTIVAL
THE GOOD LIE
Recommended. It throws you in the middle of a Sudanese child refugee life: the heart-wrenching scenes in Sudan, the foot journey of over 700 miles to Kenya, resettlement to the US after 13 years in the camp, cultural blunders, e.g. calling the job agency worker, who has helped them a lot, "Yardit" meaning a "great white cow" to which she reacts: "Well, I've been called worse" and battling with horrible memories. Very well acted by actual refugees, including two former child soldiers. Impossible to stay indifferent after the movie.
Ex-president Komorowski popped in the cinema with his wife after the movie. He had a quick chat with the festival organizers before going to see "The Handmaiden".
