Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Whether you are a history buff or not, this compeling documentary is not to be missed. As well as telling a story unknown to 99% of the population, it shows the powerful impact one person can have on the lives of many. It is an emotional rollarcoaster ride, with many peaks and vallys along the way, and hopfully pointing the world in a direction of awareness. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Paper Lanterns was an amazing film, and I highly recommend seeing it! You fall in love with Mr and Mrs Mori, and recognize the impact war can have years later. It's important as a human race to recognize what war can do, and try our best to promote peace. A must see! 10 stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Mr and Ms Mori, featured in this film, are some of the world's best people.
