An extremely disturbing film. I, like some other readers, felt physically ill and at one point stopped the movie - coming back to it a couple of days later.
I'm sure we have all seen disturbing footage or heard gruesome stories, but what made this seem different was it was very well narrated and the content well structured.
The sound track was wonderful but sombre with the likes of Moby and others of his ilk.
An amazing movie... and a catalyst for all of us to consider what we can do to help the situation - no matter how small the contribution.

Not only did I feel the writers tried to do too much, they also tried to canvas several complex social issues... and didn't succeed.
The acting was good... OK well that is the 3.
I thought the cinematography was ordinary, I know the area and I am an Australian and I felt the vision was not inspiring.
The story was unrealistic and the social response exaggerated given what actually occurred. The editors could have cut 30 minutes without harm (2hrs was too long for what they had to communicate).
I would ask if you do see it and if you agree what I have written let me know. Wait for the DVD at least you have some control on the duration, colour saturation and stop button.
