I saw this movie at Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA. I found it moving, informative, and to my surprise, full of humor and lighter moments. Michael Franti has a way of "disarming" those around him and that talent comes in quite useful during his trip. The first part takes place in Bagdad. We see an occupied people and the effect that the war has had on them and their country. Michael is brave enough to even hang with coalition forces and sing some tunes for them. Then he goes to the Gaza strip where we see how both the people of Israel and the Palestinians have been affected by the long time conflict there. I highly recommend seeing this movie if you get the chance. It is, for the most part, a very objective look at the cost of war on people. It gives a perspective you will not see in the corporate media.
