About this movie

In The Good Lie, Academy Award-winner Reese Witherspoon stars as a feisty American woman who helps a group of newly arrived Sudanese refugees settle into their new life in the US. Orphaned by the brutal Civil war in Sudan, Mamere, his sister Abital, and friends Jeremiah and Paul are brought to America in the humanitarian effort that would see 3600 lost boys and girls resettled in the USA. Carrie (Witherspoon) is contracted to secure them jobs. But deeply affected by their hopes, dreams and extraordinary resilience, she soon finds herself swept up in their struggle for a better life. Like The Blind Side and Erin Brockovich, The Good Lie is an inspiring story of survival, triumph and compassion. 2014 Black Label Media, LLC. All Rights Reserved
