Children No More: Were and Are Gone

There’s been multiple Oscar nominated films this year that have to do with the war in Gaza. And the reviews seem to be leaning towards who is making the films, instead of the actual film. This is an Israeli documentary short film that showcases Jewish citizens protesting against the war in Gaza. What a powerful idea, right? Well the people on Letterboxd seem to not think so because they’re Jewish.

I think this is a powerful short film about how the hate we feel needs to be expressed at the Israeli government, not its citizens. While the documentary shows that there are still people that are for the murder of children in Gaza, it’s most definitely not everyone. So let’s not review bomb a solid short film because you hate their race. Isn’t that what we in America were fighting against in the 60’s?

I hope with every fiber of my body that one day the people of Palestine can know true peace

While the politics the film showcases are very sound (regarding of course the brave protestors), as a film it isn’t as effective as it could be. It serves more as a compilation of many genocidal fascists screaming against the horrendous reality of Gaza. The murdered children, who are front and center, are only really explored at face value. As are the activists themselves. I’m sure of the good intentions behind Children No More, but it doesn’t hit as hard as it could have.
