Title derived from a classroom assessment of 'Huckleberry Finn' - if an African immigrant can read it, so should I (one day). Thoroughly charming film about - and acted by - Sudanese immigrants (two of which were boy soldiers), doesn't dwell on troublesome background, but opens our eyes to it all the same.. Their attitude - for example about cows, or to a police office - is completely beguiling.
Reece Witherspoon, Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanuel Jal, Corey Stoll (Woody Allen's Hemingway) and Kuoth Wiel. How Margaret Nagel came to write it is described here.
Director, cameraman Ronald Plante and editor Richard Comeau are Canadian.
