REBUILDING HOPE features Gabriel Bol Deng, Koor Garang and Garang
Mayuol, who were born in South Sudan. In 1987, as young children, they
were forced to flee when militiamen led violent attacks on their
villages. They crossed Southern Sudan on foot, reaching safety in
refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya. They came to the U.S. in 2001 as
part of a large number of Southern Sudanese young men nicknamed "Lost
Boys."

In 2007, filmmaker Jen Marlowe accompanied these young men in their
return to Sudan. The film documents Gabriel Bol, Koor, and Garang in
their quest to find surviving family-members and rediscover and
contribute to their homeland; it also sheds light on what the future
holds for South Sudan in its struggle for peace, development and
stability.

All proceeds from the evening will go towards completing this
important documentary film. Once completed, all proceeds from the film
will go towards the healthcare and education projects in Sudan
initiated by the three young men featured in the film.
