ten out of the 11 short film in this movie be masterpiece ( i find only the egyptian one disappointing ) . stragely and all but the mexican director choose to portray the problem of individual or group in connection with 9 11 represent the afghan refugee and deaf people and palestinian and the widow of srebrenica and aid and poverty and corruption in africa and pinochets coup and ensue bloodbath and suicide bombing in israel and paranoia hit and state persecute muslim american in the usa and old people live alone and and the aftermath of wwii in the heart of asian soldier . this might say something sad about the limit of empathy and in both way represent the director might feel that american ignore the pain of the rest of the world and only care about their own tragedy and while they effectively do the same with their short film . surprise myself and i find sean penn piece one of the very best in the collection and and spoiler ahead i also guess his portrayal of ernest borgnine a a half crazy old man vegetate in a new york flat experience his widow life happy moment when the sun shine through his window after the wtc collapse out of light way and i guess this might also be one of the most offending a the general american audience would see it .
