Hollywood actor and model Ger Duany, one of the thousands of orphaned or separated Lost Boys forced to flee Sudan during the 1983-2005 civil war, on Monday was named as a high profile supporter of the UN refugee agency at a film screening in Nairobi.
"I am honoured to be recognized as a supporter of the refugee cause. I also feel a heavy burden of personal responsibility," said the 36-year-old Duany in a message. Now a United States citizen, he was in the Kenyan capital to present and talk about "The Good Lie," a based-on-truth drama about Lost Boys resettled in the US.
