Movie #12........................."Paper Clips"

MOVIE #12 (For DB's netflix challenge to do 300 in 365 days) is "Paper Clips", a documentary (see below for the plot). I liked the idea of the film, but it went on way toooooooo long. Pacing was slow and not much info given. It looked like a cool project but wanted to see more of the kids and how they felt and what they learned and what the inside of the train car looked like when it was done.

Plot --- 3 stars

Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of 6 million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect 6 million paper clips to better understand the enormity of the calamity. The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.
