    A cruel documentary about child malnutrition...
    Documentary about two Yemeni health workers fighting to stop the spread of famine against the backdrop of a forgotten war. The film offers an uncompromising portrayal of Dr. Aida Alsadeeq and nurse Mekkia Mahdi as they try to save the lives of starving children in a population on the brink of famine.

    A cruel documentary about child malnutrition, heartbreaking misery, real scenes, with undernourished children, inexplicable, absurd, that makes us question a lot about the future of humanity, I finished watching it with my goddaughter, who was touched... Yemen is in war since 2014, UN ranks as the worst humanitarian situation in the world generating 233 thousand deaths (10k only of children), war, drought, the pandemic and irregularities in gas imports by the war in Ukraine...
