I just saw this movie at a local film festival. I found myself with tears running down my face at the end.
This is a movie about humanity. And, it's a movie about hope and hopelessness all at once. It's a movie about the irony that exists in all of our lives. And, most importantly, it's about the power of communication, whether or not you ultimately agree.
One of the most amazing things about the film is that it follows the girls for seven years. So, you get to see what the long term effects of the peace camp are for them. The one thing that's missing is some understanding about how these girls found out about the camp. And, if they are hand chosen in any way. But, that is a minor complaint relative to the overall success of the film.
I highly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in the faces and stories buried deep behind the crazy "conflicts" that exist all over the world today, including in the Middle East. Bravo to the film maker!
