It cleverly takes advantage of animation as the medium to tell this story. And then... Oh, the final scenes will haunt me for life.
Director replaced filmed interviews with animation memes to hide identities who witnessed atrocities in Middle East.
Good animation and a powerful story of discovery and self realization
A harrowing depiction of what war does to innocent lives. Stunning animation blends nightmares of the mind with nightmares of real war
An animation that can hardly be distinguished from a documentary film. It has an atmosphere similar to Band of Brothers.
This movie allows you to take comfort in it's formal abstraction before tearing it all away with its terrific reality -check ending.
Surprisingly poetic for a documentary. A must see take on war and memory
One of the best animations movie I ever seen
Great style throughout. Those last few minutes were absolutely devastating.
I love the way this documentary utilized animation to tell this disturbing tragedy. The last moments will haunt many viewers.
