Press quotes
Hollywood Progressive, Bill Meyer
"The film contains some amazing scenes of dedicated teachers who, although obliged to follow the mandated restrictions of the Ministry of Education, still rise above them to educate and inspire students to search for the truth and to find solutions in a troubled land.”
Indiewire, John Anderson
"The Israeli-born filmmaker, in constructing her first feature-length documentary, visited six independent Israeli and Palestinian schools – one a joint Arab-Jewish operation – to see what children are being taught.
What she discovers is far more about indoctrination than education; a system, or systems, that reinforce fears, validate biases, have little tolerance for opposing viewpoints and are creating a generation that will not only indulge their worst instincts, but feel righteous while doing so.”
