Children No More: Were and Are Gone Reviews

It’s so shocking to me how much people can turn a blind eye to such pain and suffering when they believe themselves to be the only victim. The protestors in this documentary ask onlookers to reckon with the fact that their actions and those they support have horrific consequences and to have compassion and solidarity for all those who have suffered in this war. It’s so upsetting to see just how much people are unwilling to do that. Though it is very inspiring to see people so brave as to participate in this demonstration, despite the ramifications.

Overall it’s a short but very impactful documentary that really challenges viewers’ perspectives and brings more attention to something we often want to ignore.

So many Oscar doc noms making me cry. This has so much packed in 30 mins, quietly making a point.
