      Ronnie Scheib Variety Though Franti covers little ground in Israel that has not already been well mined by countless documentarians, the context of Iraq and how American forces will be perceived for the indefinite future, puts an entirely new perspective on the situation.

      Audience Member I found this doco very moving and very interesting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a powerful, brave and insightful documentary. But would else would be expected of Michael Franti. Amazing musican and human being. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Another astonishing documentary about two occupied, oppressed and devastaded countries; Irak and Palestine....straigt and harsh, Michael Franti a musician and peacemaker seeks for anwers from the both sides of the war, just to find out that both of them are victims of very few that have the power to control and rule the suffering of millions....let's see, let's hear, let's shout...we are more...and all we need is love... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This is an awesome documentary that shows a rarely seen facet of war: the effects on the actual people living in the occupied and war torn areas. Armed with his guitar and an arsenal of peace-promoting songs, Michael Franti travels to Iraq and the Israeli occupied areas of Palestine to share his music and to show us sheltered people how real lives are affected by war. It's gut-wrenching (of course), but it is also very inspiring as we see that even people who have lost everything still have a glimmer of hope in their eyes and in their hearts. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Hopefully this film will help broaden the minds of the american people of the reality to what is happening in our country. Stand up, Speak up and Help make a difference, Our Earth and Children need Us! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A fresh travel movie which makes enemies meet together and realize that they aren't that different from each others after all...
