    Deeply moving account of suffering of Palestinian children in exile

    This moving documentary is an indictment of the Western world as it stood by while generations of Palestinian children languished in misery and permanent exile in hostile countries for no fault of their own.

    You will never see the Palestinians the same way again

    I saw a screening a couple of days ago in NY of this documentary and I must say it's one of the best works I have ever seen about refugees and how they coup with a zero-options life. You must see this documentary to understand how grave injustice can turn the lives of otherwise normal people into a living hell that is inherited from one generation to another. I guarantee those who see this film will want to do something.

    A heartbreaking story

    This documentary is deeply moving. It's specially heartbreaking to see the comparison between the dreams expressed by these children and the daily misery and oppression their parents face.
