Excellent film with so many textures

This film is gripping. It makes you reflect on the origins of violent atrocities, the outcomes of trauma, what it means to have a possibility of a second chance in life, and ultimately how the parts of us that are human - good and bad - connect us all.
I was lucky to be at the original showing at the Laemmle in Glendale CA for a Q&A with the director. She is as insightful and sincere as the film. She commented that her wish for the audience was to have even the slightest broader perspective. The picture painted of the "war on terror" is black and white, when in reality it is very complicated.
Go see it!! You will leave with what was her wish for the audience - a new and broader perspective.
