La buena mentira (English title: The Good Lie) is a 2014 drama directed by Philippe Falardeau and starring Reese Witherspoon. The film is inspired by the true story of the "Lost Boys of Sudan," a group of more than 20,000 children displaced during the Second Sudanese Civil War. Movie Specifications Release Date: October 3, 2014 (USA). Runtime: 110 minutes.

The core group—Mamere, Jeremiah, Paul, and Abital—are not just caricatures of immigrants trying to understand pizza or light switches (though there are moments of gentle humor). They are people carrying the heavy burden of a traumatic past while trying to navigate the complexities of modern American life.
