Promises

Extraordinary.

Polarized world views from the mouths of babes -- unfortunately does little to mitigate this depressing image, but much to humanize both sides.

Proves too sincere to exploit its subjects and too honest to manipulate its audience.

Demonstrates the unusual power of thoughtful, subjective filmmaking.

Despite its lively tone and brisk editing, the project's sad epilogue -- shot two years later -- suggests that Abraham and Mohammed will be duking it out on the world's dime for some time to come.

Provides deeply humanistic insight into the complexities of the Middle East conflict that political analysis or front-line news coverage often lacks.

Insightful, Oscar-nominated documentary.
