There are horror movies, and next to unbearable ones like this, one of the greatest cinematic monuments to mankind's failure, and one of those movies that should be obligated viewing, particularly by the masses who trivialize violence, war, destruction. I dismiss the only criticism raised by reviewers in relation to the creative use of the real life document. The editing, acting, format, intent were all perfect.

This is necessary viewing, of a rarely mentioned aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, particularly glaring given the barrage of news that bombard us in the media at all hours of the day. The documentary underscores an aspect of the Israeli occupation of Arab territories that understandably breeds hatred upon hatred, and adds layers to the many objections of the International Court of Justice. The animation creates a layer of distance from the grim reality, but some might find it formally interesting. Although several points of view are presented, it is still a personal account on the part of the director, and I found that somewhat limiting. It is possible for American audiences, used to tidy solutions at the end, to find this exposé unsatifying. That is perhaps inevitable, in a situation that seems to have only losing sides, and where presenting a solution is also anyone's point of view.
