"The Good Lie" is an upcoming movie that tells the story of 'the Lost Boys' of Sudan orphaned by a brutal civil war then traveled as many as a thousand miles on foot in search of safety. A humanitarian effort largely led by churches would bring 3,600 lost boys and girls to America.
The film stars Academy Award Winning Actress Reese Witherspoon and "House of Cards" actor Corey Stoll and focuses on the journey of Christian Sudanese refugees from their homeland to America. It portrays their plight when fleeing from persecution and displays the difficulty when they attempt to blend in with American culture.
Witherspoon's character is based a real woman who took in four Sudanese boys during the conflict. The new trailer is geared towards a faith-based audience and highlights some of the Christian elements in the film.
"The Good Lie" is produced by Alcon, the same studio that brought "The Blind Side" and "Dolphin Tale" to theaters. Filming for the movie took place in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is scheduled to hit theaters on October 3.
