Film Overview

“Ages 4 to 18, American kids speak out passionately on war. We talk to sons and daughters of soldiers in Iraq, a political cheerleading team that protests war, children of activist parents, and cadets at a military boarding school. They discuss 9-11, the Iraq War, and their hopes and fears for their future. They demand answers: When is war justified? Does protest work? Is world peace possible? This timely film reflects on what we?re teaching the next generation, and on what they have learned.”
