Great Movie!

Yesterday was a long day...up at 6 and observed at a school till 3 and then went to the Jewish Film Festival (if you are curious...I am not Jewish.) This was for school and a long story how I picked this event but off I went. I wasn't sure what to expect or anything but it was fantastic!!! The movie was "Circus Kids" and here is a little about it pulled from the Jewish Film Festival website:

"An eclectic youth circus troupe from St Louis travels to Israel to collaborate with the Galilee Circus, a local troupe comprised of Jewish and Arabic children working together. In the process, the kids (and the viewers) discover that we’re really not that different from each other. The real miracle of the Arches isn’t seeing the kids perform death-defying tricks, but rather witnessing the loving relationships that form even when they have nothing in common but circus. Jessica Hentoff is the “circus mom” to the American kids, including three of her own. “We’re going to show the world what a real peace process looks like - when people stop focusing on their differences and start focusing what they have in common,” said Hentoff. "Circus Kids" won the Interfaith Award at the 2010 St. Louis International Film Festival."

And before they showed the movie, 4 of the kids that are in the film performed some of their circus skills...it was great!

I loved the movie and really think anyone would enjoy it....you can find out more information about the movie and the group at www.circusharmony.org
