White saviour films . the poster is even funnier . Black people whose only home is a random tree and a white girl with perfectly groomed her , trimmed eyebrows posing in front of skycrapers . This movie could have been shot in 1925. She died her hair bron y'all . Ol' girl means business lol!
This sheltered rich caucasian girl is ridiculous.

I read the book "They poured Fire on Us from the sky" on the Lost Boys from Sudan, and some of this story seems to resonate from that true story, as the compiler of the boys' stories did help 3 Lost Boys find their voice and publish their stories of survival in Sudan, and how they made it to America. The trailer doesn't seem to be telling that story from this book, and more focusing on the human interest piece of how helping these boys helps change the woman once they have arrived in America.

I assume Reese will be paying a royalty to Sandra Bullock for this performance?

Thank god for Hollywood and the Oscars that the burden still weighs heavily upon the white man's soul.

And ANOTHER white savior helping the war-ridden Africans from their impoverished selves. There is more to Africa (which is not a monolithe and is quite wealthy in some parts), there is more to blackness, there is more to whiteness than this tired, racist narrative seen time and time again in hollywood. Next!

Ugh. She genuinely sucks at acting. That Oscar was truly one of the most undeserved ones ever.
