Life is not easy and this documentary is not easy to watch either. There are so many conflicts around the world that if you have not lived them or there, you might not be able to understand. Now of course one can read about them and their history - or you can also additionaly watch a movie about them, like this one at hand.

It shines a light on those who suffer most. It shows many sides and it really is gripping - not just because of the kids it portrays, but everything else it shows. There is a lot of culture related stuff that is shown and there is a lot of pain and suffering shown too. But there is always also the glimmer of hope - the strength and power of not giving up and fighting for what one deems to be right. Happiness may not be something sustainable for a long time ... but let's not be pessimistic. The documentary is especially important to those who don't understand why so many try to escape from where they were born ... until the situations change, sending people back because you think they are not in trouble or worth it, you are not contributing to a solution that works for everybody ... Heartfelt and powerful, if you can stomach it

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
