It hurts, but it's necessary. A movie everyone should see. I have seen documentaries and I have seen the news (this is not in US news). But this is different because it's a personal story and it's a feature film.
I understand that it was a bit of preaching to the choir because the people who bought tickets were the ones who were willing to listen. But it's out there expanding public awareness, 'legitimized' by the Academy. When you've lived your life as a muffled scream in exile, every little bit counts.
It got to me that people showed up to hear the story. But what really shook me was that they clapped when it was over and they didn't leave until every last credit was run.

I saw it with my mom last night and it really does hurt but we both wished that everyone would watch it. Americans need to know because we are part of it. We ARE essentially the Israeli gov.
