About This Movie

The pacing is contemplative, allowing the audience to absorb the gravity of the situation. The filmmakers weave together interviews with locals, soldiers, and journalists, painting a complex picture of the crisis. There’s a palpable sense of urgency throughout, but also a heartbreaking stillness when the children's perspectives come to light.
