Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jal was one of the 'Lost Boys of Sudan,' and his 2005 hit 'Gua' became an unlikely anthem in Kenya before international audiences knew his story.
The film dropped during a brief window when Western media cared about Darfur—Jal's personal story got buried under geopolitical headlines, which is exactly what the doc critiques.
