The Good Lie (2014 Philippe Falardeau)

Margaret Nagle spent a lot of time researching the Sudan background to the story after working with refugees selling handbags. Q says Reece Witherspoon didn't need to be in it - but she did, to sell the film. I know what she means  though as the film really is the story of the four refugees Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanual Jal and Kuoth Wiel. Has some truly priceless moments - the leap of joy when Jal (I think it is) learns he is going to America - their short-sighted friend moves a little like this when Oceng is reunited with his brother. And the heart-rending moment when Wiel is not allowed to stay with the family.

She wrote a couple of episodes of Boardwalk Empire.
