I think this is one of the most influential films of our time regarding the war in Iraq and Israel. It is so insightful into what the troops on both sides think of the battle...Movie Review: I know Im not alone.... Excellent!!!!

Summary: 4 Stars
I think it's interesting how polarizing this film has become amongst reviewers.
I personally think it's an amazing film.
What "Bobby McGee", the Arab reviewer, said is correct: Franti doesn't dive all that deep into the culture of the region. However, I find that true for many of the other documentaries I've seen revolving around strife. For instance, "God Grew Tired of Us" (about the Sudanese lost children), "Sierra Leone's Refugee All-Stars" (about refugees from SL's genocide who formed a reggae band), and "Heavy Metal in Baghdad" (about the only Iraqi metal band, also featured in Franti's movie) all feature western filmmakers trying to make sense of horrible situations.
While I do find that Franti can be a bit earnest with his whole "Can't we all just get along?" mentality, he absolutely means well. He's not looking to change things right then and there, just understand why things are the way they are and then convey it to the rest of us sitting at home.
Franti gets full respect from me. It takes commitment to do what so many refuse to do: put their feet on the ground in Iraq, Israel, and the West Bank, and see for themselves what's going on. I mean, how many anti-Iraq War songs have been written? Tons. How many musicians have willing gone to the country itself and taken in first-hand experience? Not so many.
Movie Review: While consuming "aggressors" ' deeds...
Summary: 4 Stars
Really nice doco required a personal bravery and some financial gambling to produce while an artist traveled terrorist-infested zones of Iraq, the Palestinian Authority and frontier Israel.
What I like in this movie personally is depicting the surrounding as visualized and seen by a stranger to localities. What does not grasp my appreciation much is openly aired producer's own interpretation of historical facts, which prepared a viewer to particular conclusions in advance explicitly.
Nice music undisputedly as a nice idea of keeping peace worldwide was, to a reviewer's feeling, much spoiled with dilettante simplicity of complex affairs by a critic himself consuming the "aggressors" ` deeds either directly or indirectly.
