Turtles Can Fly

*“Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich.” – Sir Peter Alexander Ustinov * I swear I’m never watching this again. I don’t think I have the courage to. The way this film traumatized me is unbelievable. What makes it even more devastating is knowing that production began just two weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime and many of the children who act in this movie were actual refugees, it is a reminder that the destruction war leaves behind is far greater than most of us can truly comprehend. “Every war is a war against children.” – Eglantyne Jebb
