Movie Reviews of Promises
Movie Review: Absolutely superb.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched many documentaries in my life. Some were good. This one is the most beautiful, most touching, most sensitive and profound documentary I have seen. It was a great idea to make this film, dealing with the devastating conflict between Israelis and Palestinians through the eyes of those adorable little children. Those children need to be heard. They need to get to know each other. They need a chance to understand that there is a way out through understanding, sharing, tolerance, friendship, love, laughter. Justine Shapiro, BZ Goldberg and Carlos Bolado chose an extremely important subject for their movie and delivered a masterpiece in every way. This documentary is a must see. Whatever your views are about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, your heart will feel the squeeze.

Movie Review: An inspired and thoughtful movie about identity and the palestinian israeli conflict
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter saw this in school and insisted we watch it. It is a very moving though now dated, seemingly even handed documentary of the conflict. We see this through the eyes of the next generation who will, as adults, be the ones to work on these issues. We see how the conflict perpetuates itself in the next generation. I found it very moving and curious to explore certain issues at the end of the film regarding the boundaries of the connections (I don't want to reveal too much).
I hope the filmmaker is working on or planning a continuation....much like Michael Apted's work, this would be an interesting area for periodic follow ups with the same group of very articulate and thoughtful youth on both sides.

I highly recommend this film. It is a good teaching tool. I teach in US and in Israel with Jewish and Arab students. Everyone should see, discuss and contemplate this film.
