Reviews

Yeah I hear you. The interviews in this piece are great and the editing is wonderful. My one real critique is from about five or ten seconds of footage - when one of the interviewees is talking about young people learning at a young age to kill people there are two still images that we see and both of them are of young people with guns who I believe are both of Arabic descent - while these images are powerful, I would love to see some diversity in the images. (side note: ALSO, while it's important to talk about this topic, don't forget to talk about peace building and conflict resolution movements and events - those are hardly covered by the news, but they are out there, I promise you.)

This is a morbid topic to address. However, the film maker achieved the seriousness of the subject without making it appear like a teenager did it. The interviews gelled together and was easy to follow what they were saying. The advice I have is to use the rule of thirds for the interviews so they aren't always in the centre of the screen. Other than that this is a well done film that is effective and makes a statement every individual should contemplate.
