"In the spring of 2003, Emmy(R)-winning filmmaker James Miller and his colleague Saira Shah set out to document the lives of three Palestinian children growing up in the bullet-riddled streets of Gaza. The film ends on a day like many other days in the town of Rafah--with death--except that on this day, the fallen victim is Miller himself. This poignant and powerful film is Miller's shocking first-hand look at the culture of hate that permeates the West Bank and Gaza through the perspective of three Palestinian children who have grown up surrounded by messages of hate against Israel--and who have been taught that the greatest glory is to die a martyr."

I didn't get to see the beggining of this documentary, but what I saw was enough to make me wanna see more and read about this conflict. It's a great documentary, it illustrates a different side of the story, the Islamic side of it.

A truly great film.

Bro, I saw it yesterday. It's a truly sad story. I recommend it to everyone. It will enlighten most of the situation in Gaza from a child's perspective.

It opened my eyes in many different ways... I can certainly understand their culture a lot better now. Yes, Mouse it is depressing, children getting shot just for throwing stones at armored tanks it''s sure as **** ****ing depressing.

Hell yeah, I shed a few tears during that documetary. One minute the kid is there speaking about the unbearable pain of his wound and the next he's dead.

I can't understand how all these abuse is being overlooked by the UN and even the US. Actually, I do know why... It's just that I can't believe it, ****ing politics.

I have to be honest, when that young Palestinian boy died...I cried. That documentary was good, it just seemed to make the Israeli's seem like the victims.

Those little ****ers know how to make bombs out of sugar, charcoal, and sulfur. ****ing crazy, they make they're own toys... Except those toys are not cars, they're M-16s, AK-47s, and rocket launchers.
