I think the saddest thing in the movie is when kids are sitting around discussing politics and talking about people dying around them as if it is a normal part of their day. The saddest thing is that the killing is around them all day long, but most children or even adults are given the opportunity to communicate with those they think they hate. In the end I think the best thing about the movie is that no matter how old we get or mature we get or how much information we get about the situation the problems are rooted in something much deeper in a way that confuses kids. The kids know the solution, but somehow no one can seem to implement it. I really think the documentary did some very important things and I am glad it was made. I honestly felt it was not paced very well and started out kind of slow and not all of the characters seemed necessary. I really recommend people seeing this movie and its message should not be lost. I guess what makes it hard to rate these documentaries is that I always feel so crappy at the end of them. I hate to see kids living like this with ideas already forced into their heads. None of those children talked like they were children. The best scene in the movie is when the traditional Jewish boy interacted with the Muslim kids and just laughed, but to find out later that we did not want to participate in the follow up interviews saddened me. Since this is such an important project I feel as if it is very important to see what those adults grew up to become.
