Review of Under the Wire

This film is outstanding. It should win every award on the table. We've needed a wake up call for a long time, and this is it - and more. How they managed to shoot footage and write the stories amid the desperation and chaos of war is incredible - and then to carry on to make this film to honour the lives of all the people that didn't make it and tell their story so well can only come our way once in a lifetime. The film is superb and I think everyone who watches it or reads the book will rediscover in themselves a very basic truth, compassion and honesty that we've in some part forgotten. So what can we do? well, the big message from the film and the hope of the people who survived is that their story will be heard, be seen and be retold - please go and see this film - we ordinary people can make a difference - if you see only one film this year make it this one
