Life on the Border
The fate of thousands of people is unified under the tarpaulins of the refugee camps in Kobanê and in Shingal. Kurdish filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi has given eight children the opportunity to use a camera to tell their own stories. Each film gives us a glimpse into the plight of the children, as seen through their own eyes. Their stories tell of young people with their whole lives ahead of them, though they’ve already lost almost everything. At a certain point, the film crew leaves the camp and follows the 13-year-old Mahmod and his sister in the search for his parent‘s house in Kobanê. The town has been ravaged by the war and all the children find is rubble. The eight films reveal the courage and openness of the young filmmakers, who share their stories with great intensity, realism and poetry, despite their harsh fate.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The acting in this movie is really good.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
