    Putting a face on "the enemy"
    This is an exceptional Indian film--especially since it is so timely. Because it is such a standout film it was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short.

    The film begins with some Pakistani boys playing cricket along the heavily mined Indian border. Unwisely, a little boy runs into the minefield to retrieve the ball and the border guards mistake him for a terrorist. Now, unable to go back to his country, he hides among the rocks until a school teacher happens upon him. The teacher sees the kid's plight and disguises him as his nephew to keep him safe until he can be returned home.

    The film is exceptional because it not only puts a face on "the enemy" but because it shows that despite international squabbles, there is decency everywhere. Considering how bloody the wars have been between these two countries, I was actually surprised that the Indians would so humanize a Pakistani boy--making it a film that anyone could enjoy since its message is universal.
