“I wish I could live like other kids…” 

Children have been saying that for the past 76 years. 

This one hit a little to close to home, since I actually lost some relatives during the Tel al-Zaatar massacre. With that, Venessa Redgrave did an excellent job showcasing people with different ideas to portray every aspect of the regional battle that goes on till today.
