I saw this film on an Emirates flight Milan to Brisbane, and just loved it. The steward serving me lunch actually saw the Arab Idol telecasts in which Mohammed Assef won. The children in the first half were enchanting-i loved his sister Noum. And I loved the singing despite not knowing the lyrics. It took me to Gaza , the tunnels to Egypt, the urban war ravaged scenery . I found it heart-warming and inspirational. I will download Assaf's music , and recommend the movie to my friends , and ? grandchildren . ( I just can't fathom the negative review on this website). I have watched The Voice. a couple of times in Australia, and found the quality of artist poor, and the contestant I preferred always seemed to come last ! I liked Australian Idol years ago , am still a fan of Jessica Mawboy.
