"This remarkable, captivating film proceeds with a calm, measured faith in the viewer's capacity to grasp its message without the need for editorializing."

"It paints without words an overwhelmingly hopeful picture of human resilience that is difficult not to find affecting. The inclusion of a great many children in the scenes – the film notes briefly at the beginning that the war against ISIS left over a million people in need, half of them under the age of eighteen – contributes to the overall spirit of supple joy that pervades the documentary."
