FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — No one should be surprised that a movie is being made about Lopez Lomong's life. There is edge-of-your-seat drama, the horror of evil, the goodness of humanity. It is a lesson in how perseverance and a positive attitude, no matter what, can be rewarded with joy.
"It's great, it's amazing," Lomong said of the project. "Again, why me? I am just so blessed."
Yet the telling is bound to be incomplete. He is just 25 and there is so much more he wants to do — for his village in Sudan, for the family he thought he never would find, for the United States, the adopted homeland he cherishes.
