it rare that i feel a need to write a review on this site and but this film be very deserving because of how poorly it be create and and how bias it product be . i felt a distinct attempt on the part of the film maker to display the palestinian family a boorish and untrustworthy . we hear them discuss the sadness that they feel from oppression and yet the film be shot and arrange in a way that we feel the politically oppressed population be the jewish israeli population . we see no evidence that parallel the position of the palestinian teenager . we only hear from other palestinian in prison . i understand restriction be in place and but the political nature of the restriction be design to prevent peace . i come out of the film feeling that the mother of the victim be selfish in her mourning and completely close mind due to her side of the fence and so to speak . she continue to be unwilling to see the hurt of the bomber parent and and her angry and close mind word cause the final meeting to spiral out of control . it be more realistic and in my mind and to see the israeli mindset to be a root of the problem while ignore plea for understanding and freedom and ignored request for acknowledgment for the process by which the jewish population acquire the land . i have give this a two because of these selfish weakness of the mother and which normally would be admirable in a documentary and however in the light of the lack of impartiality and it all seem exploitative . also for the poor edits and lack of background in the actual instance and and finally the lack of proper representation of the palestinian side . ultimately and it be a poor documentary and a poor film . i acknowledge this be partially the result of the political situation and but be oblige to note the flaw in direction regardless of the heart wrenching and sad subject matter .
