Lifta is the only Arab village abandoned in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that has not been completely destroyed or repopulated. Its ruins serve as a haunting backdrop for a confrontation between the two mega-narratives that underlie the Arab-Israeli conflict; the Nakba and the Holocaust.

Although some parts of the film were uninteresting and seemed to be a waste of time, the overall impact was powerful. The concept of their story was novel and the action portrayed was hard to deny. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the human race and the African Diaspora.

I'm a dentist. When I heard about the survivors of the 1998 Haiti earthquake, I was heartbroken. As it was the first time I'd been to Haiti, I thought it would be another one of those "one in a million" disasters. To my surprise, it was worse than I expected. The destruction of Haiti's economy and infrastructure led to a humanitarian crisis that affected every city in Haiti. It was a very short time later that we were back in the U.S. with the relief efforts. However, as I learned more about the various situations in Haiti, I realized the extent to which the country was truly broken. It was a good thing that the victims of the Haiti earthquake were brought to the U.S. to speak to the cameras. It is still hard for many people to believe that it was the American government that turned a blind eye to the genocide that was happening in Haiti. Not only was the U.S. complicit in the misery in Haiti, but the U.S. government's response in response to the crisis was to be about the business of making money. We built roads and bridges, but it was all for the American people. But when it comes to the humanitarian crisis, the U.S. government is still more interested in helping those that can afford it. It's a double standard that isn't ideal for those of us who want to do something for others. The response to the United Nations Relief Mission to Haiti in April 2000 was spectacular. However, the government of Haiti rejected the millions in U.S. aid because of the huge cost of keeping the RIO Grande helicopter (known in Haiti as a "Canoe") operational. They did however allow some RIO Grande helicopters to remain in Haiti. Why was the government so concerned with the helicopter? They wouldn't allow the RIO Grande helicopters to stay in Haiti if they were going to have them sent back. The American response in the summer of 2000 was even more inept and insensitive. When the U.S. military left Haiti to go to Iraq, the Haitian military had to go to war with the country's armed forces. It was reported that they'd all but eliminated the country's armed forces. That was some 40,000 military men and boys that had been set up to protect their people. In fact, the military presence was so significant that the U.S. government sent 7 Special Forces teams into Haiti. The U.S. military didn't stay in Haiti after the troops left. The relief effort was divided in two steps: the first was to repair the damage caused by the earthquake. Then the next step was to rebuild the economy. During the second part of the relief effort, the Haitian government decided to

In fact, I cannot understand the negativity in this film. It is simple, insightful and a joy to watch. If you are looking for the least sensationalistic facts you can find then you will be disappointed. I have two questions. How was the story of the Japanese internment. In the time it took for the film to air the Japanese were on the run. This was a real time in history. How was the story of the Japanese internment managed. The film goes into so much detail but you have to remember that the internment was in 1942 and most of the Japanese were already in the US. I think that the new people in the film did a great job and so did the two previous reporters. If the story is only presented in one short sentence I think the audience will not know what to think and just want to sit back and watch the story unfold. Overall, this is one of those documentaries that you can't help but think about.

I was just watching the movie,and I thought the movie was really good! The director, director, the actors, they did a great job.The movie tells the story of a girl in England, named Lucy, and a school, where she was an English teacher. She began teaching in the town in England, where the girls were much more educated than she was. After she left the school, her boyfriend left her for another woman,and she has a lot of problems, because she is being blamed for him. She had a lot of problems with her father, and she had problems with her mother. This was a very very sad story, and this movie shows the problems of Lucy. She doesn't like that she gets blamed for her boyfriend's death. She would rather that he had died before she was left with nothing. And she would rather her boyfriend die than to lose her father. She tries to fix her mother's problems by being a bad mother, but it's very hard to do that. It's hard to find good people who would help her. She gets very upset with people who won't listen to her. She is not able to be herself in the end. I found the movie very good, it really helped me understand more about life and how important it is, to do good things.

The Ruins of Lifta: A tour through the land of earthquake and seismic devastation. The makers of this documentary include those involved with the 2004 M9 quake in Nepal. The filming and editing of the film took place on location in Kathmandu. The epicenter of the quake was in the Garhwal Valley. There are shots of the rubble being cleared, the streets of Kathmandu being blocked, and mud being dumped from the streets into the sky. The film opens with interviews with top Nepali officials. The official who works with the international disaster relief agency UNICEF is Dr. Kishore Bishnoi, a physician and the President of Nepal. He describes the devastating effects of the earthquake. He tells of the destruction of homes, livestock, and houses. There are a few scenes of people taking refuge in a restaurant. It is very chilling. The director has traveled to Nepal to document the aftermath of the earthquake and says he hopes that the disaster will be his "documentary". He continues to show the effects on the children and the grandparents. He interviews victims, aid workers, and locals. He is accompanied by two film crews. The first is a woman in her fifties who has lost her husband and is deeply traumatized by what she saw. She also lost her child and lost her house in the earthquake. She has flashbacks and nightmares of the earthquake. The second crew is composed of a group of college students who were the first on the scene of the disaster. They were some of the first to evacuate the city and are going through the harrowing process of regaining their humanity. He is getting numerous reels of film from the filming of the earthquake. They also have footage of the earthquake from NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. This film is a testimony to the tragedy of human nature and how helpless people can be and how vulnerable they can become. The filmmaker is the top earthquake expert in the country. He has talked to everyone from top government officials to volunteers. He gives his assessment on the cause of the earthquake. He says that the cause is probably not in the Himalayas, but in the fault lines, or faults. He does not say it was the fault lines. It is probably the fault lines in Nepal, but the fault lines are there. The fault lines act like the generators of earthquakes. The fault lines connect with the ground causing shaking and a shaking of the ground that produces an earthquake. Dr. Bishnoi concludes that the fault lines must be very weak and may have never existed, but he is not convinced. The fault lines act like generators and can destroy a city, or they can be strong enough to be in an area of the Earth and act as generators of an

I have always been a big fan of Arturo Sandoval. I think he's a great artist, and he's always given me a great laugh and never failed to entertain me. But his life was so mysterious, and I really don't understand why. When I watched this documentary, I became more and more concerned with what was going on with his wife, and how she could be neglectful. Finally I began to understand what I had missed all these years. The documentary really takes you to the emotional level and helps you to understand what this woman was going through. Then it makes you more concerned about the others that were being neglected by their own wives, and this makes you think about that, too. The documentary was also very very interesting. I was very surprised that the narrator and the narrator's wife were all Mexican women. I didn't expect that at all, and I was also surprised that they were really all very independent. The narrator was very good at giving us the background information on the other women, and the documentary also made it clear that the women were raising their kids on their own and were actually only married to their own husbands for some time. These women actually were not neglectful at all and very considerate of their own children. Overall, I liked the documentary very much. It gave me a different perspective on the case of this woman and really made me think about the importance of supporting women who are in trouble. It was very informative and made me understand why Arturo Sandoval had the work that he did. I highly recommend this documentary to everyone, because it will keep you interested from beginning to end.

One of the best documentary ever made. Some of the most original and fascinating stories are put on screen in this movie. The main cast of actors plays very interesting characters and gives a lot of depth to the documentaries. The story of the gorge of eastern Ukraine, and the war from it is simply outstanding. Not much to add but I want to say that the movie is shown in a very clear way. If you have not already seen this movie, you definitely should.

I don't want to come across as negative, but I can't stop thinking about the movie. I'm so moved by it, it's as if I'm reading my own diary. After seeing the movie, I got the feeling that they had completely changed the world around them. We have become so much more forgiving. The movie had a very simple formula, a simple journey of the two main characters. The journey of her family, the journey of our ancestors, the journey of the survivors. And now the journey of her husband, our fathers. I think it is amazing how some people only see what they want to see. Not only the movie itself, but their perception of the world. They want to say that they are right, that they did not have to face the hardships and how they were forced to and that they are brave enough to fight against it all. But what they're going to miss is what I saw in the movie: Every person has his or her own story. There is no one story that is going to fit everyones opinion. The movie shows us that we can go through a lot more than the movie shows us. If you want to see this movie, do it! If you want to learn how to be a survivor, go and learn.

One of the few documentaries on life in the Gulag system, narrated by notable actor and cultural critic Fyodor Dostoevsky. The documentary shows the dramatic events of the Gulag system, and how all those who were at the top were willing to do anything for the prestige, and a great life they enjoyed for years on the top. The movie was also made for the use in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, who would go on to manipulate it's ideology to those in power. There are some scenes that speak to the abuses and humiliation that were actually inflicted on the people. I enjoyed the documentary so much, because I was a human being on the same line of thinking that it was actually wrong and people would do anything for the prestige and they would do anything to stay in their position, so much so that a man would refuse to shower for a month, put their nails through the barbed wire and keep running a dog leash along their necks. There were stories of surviving on one meal a day, literally, and were kept in such a small space that had to cook food for the entire class of people in the camps. In a culture where freedom and mind was so important to people, this was a shock to me to see what people were subjected to. Although these stories of starvation, how it changed people's lives, that could be told in such a way that people could identify with it, the movie showed a different side of life and showed how it affected people, and it was well done. I would recommend the documentary to anyone interested in the subject, as it is an important story, and does a good job of portraying a different side of a subject.

This film is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and I believe that its title is fitting. One of the most notable aspects of this film is that it deals with the cultural impact of the film industry on the people of Hollywood. With one of the highest wage costs in the industry, and no longer having the freedom to go off on their own to make films of their own, the industry was under pressure from all sides to pay it. There is some scenes of people working long hours and not getting a pay raise, and an even more poignant scene of a man saying how many years he has spent on the set of one film. This film does not focus only on the movie industry, but on how the effects of the industry on people in the movie industry is a central theme. However, even in the "industry" there are still people like Kirk Cameron, who doesn't have the fame, but a better life. In the end, Kirk Cameron shows that all the hard work that he put into the films does make a difference in the lives of people who are able to receive a better life. His movies are also very influential for people who have become involved in the film industry, and even if they don't like the movie industry, it is still beneficial for them. The documentary ends by making some of the views in the film seem real. We get to see the effect the industry has on people, and how it has changed the lives of people in this industry.

Why have I never heard of this film before? I wonder what happened to it? The answer to that is: I had not heard of it until I read in the comments of another viewer that they had seen it in England, a few years ago. It was the film that first introduced me to the works of Noam Chomsky, and the subject matter of his documentaries. It is an eye opener, to say the least, and I would recommend it for anyone interested in this topic.

This is the story of the rise and fall of a Chinese migrant worker, a family and a culture from modernity to the ancient past. As in the western imagination of big pharma, they decided to build a new world and drug it with the riches from natural resources. The movie traces the life of the migrant from his entry in the new world, to the disaster of the economy of his country, and to the collapse of his home and its surroundings. In the last stages of his life, he tries to find a place to go to, his friends, his dead, and the ways to try to return his lost. For me, this movie is a tribute to all those people who lost their homes to the greed of the rich. This film should be seen and be remembered as a snapshot of life. To find a place in the new world, to find your lost home, and to fight for the old home.

Yes. Another good film by Seth Adamson. The following were a few of the highlights of the film: 1. Mr. Godfrey Kneller's incredible story and amazing detail to his story 2. Wow. So many historical documents have been analyzed and released on the internet and in the movie 3. The death of the family and the process of removing the remains from the church and then placing them in a wooden box 4. The harsh and cold winters during the journey. 5. A great and true history lesson 6. The photographs and graphic of the box containing the bones 7. The locals having a great reaction to the passing of the bones and the bones were placed back on the church after the funeral 8. The individual events of the story 9. The inclusion of the community and family reactions to the story 10. The rise of tourism and the increase in revenue at the church The movie does a great job at showing the importance of tourism and providing a fun-filled perspective for people to experience the cultural traditions and events of the church's history. There was a real message of thanksgiving for the passing of the bones and the opportunity to experience the power of the church to spread its blessing for the community to enjoy.

I think this film will touch the hearts of anyone who loves food, shows us all the amazing things we have, or just enjoys something simple and beautiful to be alive and actually it's beautiful in this case. I can't wait for this film to be released to theaters. I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. My jaw is on the floor. I want to get my hands on it, so that I can actually get a copy of the film that I am so excited to see. Please do not miss this masterpiece!

The poor and people of western nations can only live in their own mirage. This is a great movie because of the accuracy of the history. All the filmmakers were good to make this great movie. What happened is happened in every country. We should never forget that. Some countries are very good but many are poor. Sometimes the government runs a big corruption that makes a lot of people unhappy. Most of the time, corruption is made by the upper class. And this is not just in Russia but in countries like Australia and the U.S. I mean if you don't like the rich, you must look at the wealth of this film because they are good. There is another hidden society in the earth that is stealing the stuff they need and taking from the poor and poor. It is not their fault. But this is an important movie because it shows the truth of history. And it is only in America that this is not widely known. Now people can be informed about the crimes of the rich and of the state of poor people, and can take action against these crimes. I must warn people to do the same thing in their own country because it is much more dangerous. It is also dangerous that poor people don't know what is going on in their country and can not make a difference. In any case, I recommend this film to everyone. I must tell people to go see it and see it over and over again. Don't miss this movie. A big part of our existence is based on lies. That's why people hate it, because the truth cannot be seen in our lives.

Evaluating the vastness of this tragedy is a daunting task, especially in a television environment, which is dominated by television and its focus on the lowest common denominator. But, on occasion, one can draw a ray of hope and clarity to a story that has gone from the cutting room floor to a central piece of the art gallery of the current generation. Lifta's story of being a child in the concentration camps is made visible through the unflinching eyes of a true survivor, but ultimately the focus is on the rescue of this family. For the most part, the filming of the story is close-up, but this is made up by the fact that the camera is set up at a distance of the rest of the story, or even an event. This almost forces the viewer to be part of the family, with the camera bouncing around and up close. The dialogue is also free form, but one gets the feeling the characters have a sense of their own family's story. This may be an unfair criticism, but I think it is valid. The film highlights the life of the four families on the same scale, the same type of concentration camp, from the eerieness of the camp to the immaturity of the children. One can really feel the sense of displacement and uncertainty that the concentration camps created in the children, while the boys and girls alike struggled through life, their attitudes and experiences changing as they moved through the camps. This is highlighted in the film by the way that the children are referred to by their number, regardless of whether or not they are the same age. I felt as though the boys and girls had always been so different, and that it was their father's story of survival that made this family. The film also gives the viewer a sense of what it must have been like to have survived, but never actually hears from the survivors directly. They all speak about the last time they saw their loved ones alive, but this was never followed by the actual words of a survivor. While the film does the best to capture the sheer horror of the camps, the story is also beautifully told through the characters' perspectives. And even if the film does not reach the dramatic heights of the Holocaust, it is still a brilliant story that deserves to be told.

Glorious epic that pulls no punches. Those of us who were alive during WWII will remember the dreadful mistakes made by the Russians in their invasion of Poland. The filming of the Rose Garden was incredible, and the "Rumpelstiltskin" ending gave us a reminder of the horrors of war. A must see for all.

After watching the documentary, I found myself on the edge of my seat. The importance of photography and the importance of the camera must not be underestimated. The documentary was very powerful, and I think that it deserves to be mentioned amongst the best documentaries I've ever seen. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know the untold story of David Thompson, a man who's life has been recorded by the media for thousands of years. We must all respect the importance of photography and film, and this documentary is sure to spark a great debate among the people. At least that is my opinion.

Sunday, 05 Apr 2020 13:50

This documentary is an invaluable piece of art. It clearly shows the inefficiency of bureaucracy in our country, which wastes the taxpayer money, despite the fact that the taxpayers themselves are not aware of this situation. These resources should go towards the poorest among us, in our areas. This film has a profound impact on all those who have had to live in these kind of conditions. This film will make you go "wow". You'll be very moved by it. It's truly a wonderful, inspirational piece of work. You'll understand what it is to be poor in this country and you'll understand why so many people want to be poor.

Great documentary about the siege of an apartment building in Canada, used as a battleground for anti-immigration sentiment. Great for all who hate the Canadian Government, so theres nothing to lose by watching it.

I was riveted with this film from the first frame. I was so captivated by the humanity of the participants that I forgot to breathe for about an hour. I felt as if I was living in those times in the North African desert, being mowed down by the dogs of the inhabitants of the city of Boulm, and the refugees from other cities like Rome and Marseille. The film is compelling, compelling, compelling. I hope that the full story is told in its entirety. I can't imagine what it must have been like to live in those times, in those places. If you have not seen this film yet, please do.

I want to say that i have seen this film at the film festival in Deauville and it was such a deep emotional experience, thank you.I will never forget those four words that the leaders of the hepanoate (society) said to the workers of that place, "we can't do it", the message was clear, they were saying: "you have to do this or we will do it". The work, the honesty, the care of a person, the fear and pain they went through and the work that was done, to rebuild the city. i recommend this film to anyone and it shows us that the present generation is the one who will rebuild our society. Go see it. It is so beautiful, really, and the right words from the leading leaders of the hepanoate (society).
