Directed by Joe Fab and Elliot Berlin, this documentary chronicles a rural Tennessee middle school's unique class project: finding a meaningful way to honor Holocaust victims. Brought up in a heavily fundamentalist Christian environment, most of the students had never seen, let alone spoken with, a member of the Jewish faith; nonetheless, the children of Whitwell found a poignant method of honoring the slain. Using individual paper clips to represent each life lost in the Holocaust, the students were inundated with contributions from around the world. Eventually, they managed to procure an authentic German rail car, which would become container to the millions of paper clips collected. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

    I knew the movie would be special and that the atrocities of the Holocaust would be discussed. I had no idea that I would be so moved by the entire town and sob the way I did. Excellent.

    It is great to see how little steps in life can lead to great things. This documentary reminded me of how that is possible. It was a great story, about a horrible event. But the twist is what the kids and school were able to learn and take from this life lesson. This is the kind of film that gives me hope, inspiration and makes me want to travel to Tennessee to see the memorial.

    Up lifting, informative and something all Americans should watch. Our world of sterotyping is turned upside down when a small not diverse town in tennessee shows what the true American spirit is all about. With all the hub bub obout teachers this film shows us what truely dedicate teacher can teach and learn when the open their minds and hearts.

    Yes   |   No
