Christian Science Monitor

The poignancy of this film, made over a period of several months, is that the boys are both afraid of going home and passionately desirous of returning to their families.

These Birds Walk serves as a reminder of the resilience of children and how little it takes to keep hope alive.

The central story could have been a nice drama. The bigger picture and context could have been a nice documentary. But it doesn't work in between.

Rated: 2/5

The Skinny

The Ehdi Foundation - the non-profit at the centre of the film - looks after children with unwavering love and dedication, and this compassion translates into the film itself.

Stunningly shot. Raw but hopeful, which is a feat in itself given the subject matter.
