Outstanding insight into a issue that is, so

Outstanding insight into a issue that is, so often, highly politicized. The talking points commonly pushed by both sides of the political divide have never been laid bare in a way such as this; humanity and compassion are at the forefront of this documentary at every step. Being able to follow along with the crew as they mirror so many peoples journeys across unforgiving terrain and life threatening situations simply because they hold on to hope that their destination will be better than their origin deeply humanizes their struggle, and provides a much needed name and face to a group of people typically viewed as a collective mass rather than the individuals with lives, families, hopes, and dreams that they are. For those with only a surface level comprehension of the issue, a position I found myself in before watching this documentary, it helped connect the seemingly distant stages of the migrants journey into a cohesive struggle that I could identify with, and more importantly empathize with; a quality we tend to lack in todays world. Even for those with a more knowledgable base on this topic, this documentary is definitely one to watch. The constant movement from sadness, to outrage, to borderline helplessness drives home the severity of this ongoing crisis in ways that I have not commonly seen on the news and the TV. It has inspired me to not only be more conscious and understanding of other peoples struggles in my daily life, it has also inspired me to be more proactive in my own education regarding the refugee crisis, and more aware of the injustices perpetrated by those so often in control. At the end of the day, the short sound and video bites that are so typical of coverage of these refugees are blasted and exposed through the detailed, harrowing journey that we are brought on. A journey that will surely move any viewer to their core.

Insight to Victims of War Through the People Who Help Them

"War is the worst habit of the human species," says Trauma Surgeon Dr. Gino Strada. It is just one of the powerful statements in this documentary that follows the lives of healthcare professionals who devote themselves to caring for civilians caught in the brutality of terrorist run countries and violence in war zones to fleeing their homelands.It follows the NGO workers as they care for civilians who are casualties of terror and war. It brings insight into the desperation, pain and will to survive from not just those fleeing but those trying to help care for them. Seeing the NGO workers' response as they try to provide more than triage is humbling and sobering.The film sheds light on the desperation that leads to fleeing one country in hopes of being received with compassion and care in another. It gives insight into decisions that turn a citizen into a refugee.The desperation felt is a universal one that is applicable to all conflicts and crises happening across the globe.This film projects the capacity for humanity that can and does exist in a seemingly hopeless situation.
