Movie #3598 ........................"Children No More.....Were and Are Gone" (theater)

 Movie #3598 "Children No More....Were and Are Gone" (theater)  This was the last oscar-nominated short doc 2026 that we saw, and it was very powerful...... the first few minutes had a woman who was in charge of this campaign talking about not getting info on where these kids were killed, and how old they were and their names..... and I wouldn't have started the film that way at all.  Once we got into reminding us that we were in Israel and  these people were holding these signs up about Palestinian kids being killed then we saw the real story --- how some of the israeli people were supportive because yes, thee are kids and they shouldn't be killed vs,  what about our hostages?  we should be protesting that!  the rest of the film shows silent protestors holding these signs up while others yell at them and tell them they should worry about the hostages..... it tugs at your heart.  It's just that in a film sense,  it had a tough start and then was static after a while, and a bit longer than it needed to be, and could be clearer over all, but it is powerful  I'd give it 4.5.
