    Touching! But besides the tech points the emotional side is more important in this excellent movie. How many children are like this? Can you imagine? Millions, billions? The war children are the most unlucky people in this world. Stop the war!
  • Tyler T Williams plus 5 months ago
    STOP THE WAR!!! agreed. Glad you connected with the video so well. Thanks!
