Movie Reviews of Trust Me: Shalom, Salaam, Peace
Movie Review: Waste of Time
Summary: 1 Stars
I fully expected to see a decent documentary that showed how children of different faiths came together at camp and how they gained understanding of each other's views. This simply didn't deliver. As a matter of fact, there was very little about the different religions other than showing Muslims praying and the kitchen being made kosher. Counselors at the camp had absolutely nothing planned. There was no agenda. The camp was like any other and there were no workshops to help the kids gain an understanding of each other. The mix of religions was hardly explored beyond the trivial. Absolutely nothing was learned from watching this documentary.
For a far more compelling movie that features children exploring the differences between their cultures and religions, I highly recommend a documentary called "Promises". It is superior to "Trust Me" in every way imaginable. "Promises" should be required viewing for everyone everywhere. You can find it here: Promises
Summary of Trust Me: Shalom, Salaam, Peace
This wonderful documentary was just awarded the Parent's Choice award, recommended for children 10-14 years of age. It follows 33 Christian, Jewish and Muslim boys (ages 9-13) who arrive with some trepidation - as well as preconceived notions about the kids of other faiths. The Christian boys have never met Jews or Muslims before and expect them to be completely different. The Muslims fear the Christians and Jews will shun them as their classmates have since 9/11. Several of the Christian and Muslim boys - most of whom have never been away from home before - grapple with another problem: intense homesickness. The film follows the boys, as well as the staff, as they engage in typical camp activities and in the process, forge strong bonds with each other. The week turns out to be an extraordinary experience for all, culminating in one of the most stirring moments of their lives.Documentary DVD Video
