    Important and touching movie. Tårnet.

    This movie can be used in different teaching settings with youth as well as children , preferably with a discussion afterwards. War and oppression, through a child's perspective. Lovely movie.

    Must see

    Moving film about generations of palestinian refugees. A must to see.

    Very moving and superbly animated

    Its a child's perspective of a problem created by grown ups. While the child is Palestinian, I dont find it to be biased, it simply portrays a reality that unfortunately many children have to live in. The real live stories are beautifully animated in stop motion and illustration, simply stunning.

    Beautiful movie!

    Everyone should see this wonderful film about Palestinian refugees. Beautiful made animation and on point story.

    A brilliant glimpse of harsh reality

    The Tower uses the mode of animation to enter deep into palestinian reality. And it works. You get to know several animated characters who during the film seem to turn into persons. The modern history of Palestine is the background and the dynamo of the film. But the heartbeat is the daily life experiences of 4 generations of palestinians, with refugee camps as their base camp, as a provisional yet lasting home - living and loving, fighting and hoping. Hoping one day to be able to use the key they always kept, to get back into the house they once lost, and which someone occupied. So much pain, so much love, so much struggle for dignity and humanity. The animation gets right through to you, without any actors as mediators. Go see it, and contemplate it!
