YSC may be finished for the year, but there's still some great films to see around campus. Movie Soc are showing the Bill Murray classic Groundhog Day, and make sure you catch Lost Boys of Sudan, a powerful documentary screened by the English department in collobartion with Juba University.
Regarded as one of the greatest comedies of all time, Groundhog Day finds Bill Murray trapped in a never-ending loop where the same day is repeated. His transformation from a cynical, disgruntled jerk to a kind and selfless hero is sad, moving but above all, hilarious. If you haven't seen this classic, now's the time – if you have, it's a great chance to see it again (and again, and again, and again...)
The Second Sudanese Civil War began in 1983, and reached its official conclusion just six years ago. In that time, thousands of boys were displaced. Megan Mylan's documentary, Lost Boys of Sudan, tells the tale of Peter Dut and Santino Chuor, two orphans who escaped from Sudan and ended up in America. A fascinating documentary on a criminally overlooked period of history, and a great way to begin the link between York and Juba's English departments.
