Knowing that actual war refugees star in this tale about a group of Sudanese children who flee the massacre of their village and seek a new life in the U.S. makes this understated yet heartfelt story even more impactful. Starring Reese Witherspoon as the social worker who helps them assimilate and reunite, this tearjerker will make you count your blessings the next time you see a war refugee.
