We found this film very unsettling and off putting because the film shows another side to the Iraq war, that is not portrayed in the media in the uk. It shows us what the real cost of war is, and made us want to delve deeper into the life of Saddam Hussein and young children in war-stricken countries. We would recommend this film for the age rating it is given (14+) because younger viewers may find some of the subject matter disturbing, however at the age of 14 and above they can start to understand this original film.
