This is a very biased documentary that has so many iancuracies, misleading facts and contradictions
Some of the innacuracies are so blatant, it's beyond obvious, like when one person stated that there was never a Jewish state in history, but history and archealogical finds prove the existance of previous Jewish states, from King David, etc., however this is all denied.
An example of being misleading, they mention that in 1917 that the Jews only accounted for 10% of the population, implying that this only applied to Israel. At that time there was no Israel or Jordan, it was all the British Mandate of Palestine, with no records of the numbers in the seprate regions. The number they refer to is 10% in what is today Israel, Jordan and parts of Syria, and basic history will tell you that.
There are parts that are also border line anti-semetic, saying how Jews think, etc.
This is really not worth the watch. You would be far better to read up accredited and factual material. There are also some parts that are border line ati-semetic.

This was a surprisingly good movie, gripping and action packed.
I won't give any spoilers, but the movie is a bit of a roller- coaster ride as the two stars try to get themselves and their children out of the country. If you are a parent, you will appreciate it a little more as your paternal instincts sympathise with their plight.
They tried to show considerable realism in the movie, however I have one major gripe that I feel was done due to the backlash of American Sniper and it's accusation of being anti-Muslim, and ironically, some critics have now branded this movie as being "Racist". The movie is based in either Cambodia or Laos (the only 2 plausible countries) and turns the natives into barbaric butchers just like ISIS fighters for no plausible reason, not like a religious ideology would. I got the feeling that the movie was originally intended to be based in a country like Yemen or Somalia which would have fitted the plot perfectly, however I think political correctness took its toll on what could have made the movie even better and more realistic.
