One of the most moving pieces of cinema I've ever experienced.

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2001)

Trying to give students today any idea of what the tumult of the 20th Century may have been like is most difficult. To say that our young people lead sheltered lives for the most part is an understatement. Using this film to demonstrate the conditions and consequences of global events proved most useful. It was hard even for the most cynical to come away from this film unshaken. A triumph of the human spirit.
