This documentary really opened my eyes I was so astonished to see how the different periods of peace and chaos affected the lives of the man's three sons. His children were so desensitized to war times that they did even think a gun shot or protest was anything to blink about. I see the helicopter parents here that won't let their 5 year olds cross the street without holding their hands and then across the world there are people who encourage their children to go out and watch protests in where there uncles and fathers are getting shot and dragged into a van. I cannot believe their bravery, and it causes me to ask myself if they are brave out of necessity or are simply born more nobel than others. Hipster film junkies in america may try to film their everyday lives of going to Starbucks and their trails of picking a drink from the menu, but this documentary is special because it's so genuine. He did not film this for money or fame he did it to remember his life and show the world what was going on. It would be so surreal to live in an area like that during these times. I will never know whats it's like to fear for my freedom and be willing to fight for it no matter the costs. I am very fortunate is this way. It was strange how parents here encourage their children to persue their dreams and keep their innocence but there children must grown up quickly and learn the lessons of life.
