    A review of the truth about the war in the Middle East that we often see on the news, yes, we are the kind of normal people who eat breakfast and watch wars in other countries, thinking that we know the truth but can never perceive the truth.

The film itself has three stars, and one more star wants more people to know the thinking behind the truth.
