After viewing this film once 34 years ago I have never been able to forget it. Perhaps the reason it isn't aired more often is it is just so heartbreaking and troubling, but it should be better-known! Once seen, images of its incidents are seared forever on the memory. It has an absolutely real, almost documentary feel, giving the impression of looking at true-life incidents. This was a very brave and deeply-felt venture in film-making worthy of award. It should join the classic French film "Forbidden Games" in making an anti-war statement and depicting the effects on war upon the hearts, minds, and souls of children.
