"I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
Just finished watching "The Boys from Baghdad High", an HBO documentary following four Baghdad teenagers (Muslim and Christian) as they struggle through their senior year of high school.
Looking beyond the obvious political and religious implications of a film such as this one, I'm overcome with the complete awareness that we are all the same. Regardless of race, country or faith...mothers will hope for their children, teenagers will act silly, and men and women will fall in love.
...If you're at all interested in a humanistic perspective of the conflicts in the Middle East, I'd absolutely recommend "Baghdad High" and another film called, "Promises"...
