Strangers No More (Oscars 2011 Winner) - Official Trailer

[psdindia]

I like the concept and the short film. Haven't seen the full blown movie though..

[zerozander]

I saw this documentary short and the other 4 nominated in it's category. While I liked this one, I hardly think it was the best. I believe it got the most votes by the Academy because it was not making an obvious political statement like the other four were, or because it involved kids. We all know how human beings can't get enough of children.

Poster Girl and Sun Come Up were much better.

Nice tits on the teacher!

I saw the documentary. I encourage others to see it. What is the name of the song at the very end?

[melaseic]

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but it seems odd to me that a video about children orphaned by war would turn into a debate on the future of Israel, filled with racist rhetoric, eugenic posturing, and sectarian fears.

This is horrible News, the left wing Liberals are out again to do everything to destroy the nation of Israel, stupid Idea, lets bring thousands of Africans and 3rd world people who are not Jewish so that in 50 years from now we will have savages roaming the streets of Israel, Crime, Drugs, Welfare, and Mixed marriages, sure real good Israel, all this to show the world how nice you are while you destroy yourself. Idiots, Vote FAR RIGHT.

@ZionistIDF Only when there is a collective shift in jewish thinking and you open your minds to other cultures and religions can the suffering in israel cease. Documentaries like these give me hope that there is positive change in the process, shame you're too filled with prejudice and hate to see this.

[ZionistIDF]

@oronzofreddy Don't be a fool, Israel is tiny, we can't absorb millions of Africans most of them are Muslims also, you can have them all if you like, I am sure Australia can use more Black Immigrants, by the way 1 out of 3 have AIDS.

[mongomeisterlich]

@ZionistIDF A Jewish racist. Crazy.

[chalitzah]

@ZionistIDF

We can treat them well while they're here, they can contribute, and we can also use things like working visa. Also israel has plenty of space for population increase, it's just a problem with lack of land use.

[ZionistIDF]

@chalitzah Not yet, we are still a tiny fragile people. We need to encourage JEWISH families to have more than 4 Jewish children or we are in big trouble. We have close to 2 million Israeli Arabs who breed like roaches, we dont need another foreign group of people with Islamic values coming from Africa. We have another 2 Million Arabs in Gaza and Judea Samaria (westbank) This is stupid, Israel needs to DEPORT every illegal alien ASAP. One small Jewish land on the planet, must you ruin that also!

@ZionistIDF

First all, I have seen druze and bedouin who are serving much more loyally than many jews. Whether immigrant can contribute to society has a lot to do with education.

Secondly, jewish birth-rates are actually very high now and increasing every year. There is always a demographic threat relative to the palestinians. But the jewish birthrate is increasing rapidly. A possible problem is the haredi having even too many children now.

[chalitzah]

@ZionistIDF

Also don't write ever racist comments, it is embarrassing to read on public. I know druze, bedouin, as well as ethiopian jews, who are contributing more to the army than a lot of jews (not just haredi, but also secular middle class). Also I see even some palestinians (israeli-arab) who are contributing positively to the country (of course the amount who do this is too little, but hopefully can increase).

[chalitzah]

@oronzofreddy

No, beyong the anti-Israel propaganda, we are actually very liberal and tolerant society. Even in military terms, any other country in the world would be far more violent than we are, considering the attacks on our citizen. We are always pretty tolerant, the middle east conflict is coming from other factors

[Cookiec1973]

And to imagine that some kids are incredibly disruptive and behave like little trolls in class. If you see the passion these kids and their teachers have, it just puts things in perspective and makes you realize that teaching is more than these horrible trolls, but is more about these kids that just crave for knowledge! Bless them and their teachers!

[kikujirofromkyoto]

Great documentary. Just watched it tonight at the Israel Film Festival in Paris, France.
