See this film!!
A beautiful peek into the human condition. Velcrow Ripper does an amazing job of allowing subjects to make sweeping statements and then disproving them with a single shot.

For example – while explaining to a Palestinian border guard that he is on a mission to find hope for the future while in his country. The guard replies “you will not find hope here”. Boom – cut to three children laughing and sitting on their porch. The best typo ever is seen in a shot from the Kabul Afghanistan airport. A sings prohibits you from bringing in “dangerous things like gasses and passions”. They obviously mean poisons but passions can be dangerous there too.

Take the trip, you won’t be disappointed.

A few touching moments in a sea of uninspired film-making.
My overall feeling about this film is that it was a slow, drawn-out, structureless wander through some of the worlds genuinely unfortunate situations with a bit of redemption and an obvious message. The film is composed mostly of fairly uninteresting video footage of the countries he visits with bad reenactments, all slow-mo’ed down to a snails pace and overlaid with depressing music. Certainly some of the materials and interviews contain some compelling stories, but unlike what the description on the back suggests, it wasn’t so much the victim’s story that’s being told as it is the director’s, Mr. Ripper, and he doesn’t tell it well. This film could have included longer, better interviews with the people themselves, letting them tell their stories. Instead Mr. Ripper indulgently draws the story towards himself making it some kind of personal journey, and unfortunately it doesn’t end up being much of one. I never really got a sense of any growth as he explores the subject, and he never indicates what about the subject pulled him in in the first place. He just drags us from one place to the next, brushes lightly on the situation and characters, hangs around showing too much uneventful slow-motion footage of people just walking around the streets, then moves on to his next destination. He does this over, and over, and over again without any real development. I felt like this film could have been cut down to 45 minutes but it’s drawn out to close to 2 crushingly slow hours. We feel morally obliged to care about the topic, but the director’s self-indulgent, meandering, uninspired delivery of his journey makes you grow numb after a while.
