In 2014 the Guardians of the Galaxy first hit theaters and took pop culture by storm.
Fans connected to the characters, each of whom seemed to be a loner coming from their own respective corner of the universes.
Zoe Saldana's Gamora, the female lead of the group, has arguably the darkest past of them.
Her character is the adoptive daughter of the daughter of the Mad Titan himself, Thanos.
In her portrayal, Saldana connected Gamora?s past with the Lost Boys of Sudan.
It's a tragic reference to events that took place between 1983 and 2005 during the Second Sudanese Civil War.
Roughly 20'000 young orphaned boys ended up being recruited as child soldiers by the warring sides.
