[@beryosa]

I cried so much and I don't cry when I watch movies. But watching this movie wasn't a story watching. I understood that this is what so many kids go through and I couldn't stop crying. It's the best movie I've watched until now. The crew did an amazing job and Zain is going to be one of the best actors, I'm very sure. I hope now he will live a happy and good life, like many kids who had to go through so many difficulties.

[@PartiallyGeorge]

They should've provided Zain with simultaneous Arabic translation - it's frustrating watching him just sitting there and doing nothing. The film's great though, really great.

Very good movie, my compliments also for all the scenes regarding breastfeeding. I’m so proud of what you have portrayed not only the fact of abused children but also the fact of grownups acting in their ignorance misusing others and especially children. I often asked myself why they don’t arrest the parents after a child misconduct, because they are the one really responsible.

I woke up with Capernaum on my mind I knew it was biblical but did not know how to spell it. I traveled in cannes at festival time only to discover you need to be booked in Years in advance.. I own a swamp in Quebec which just came my way and I will be developing it with ideas from Nadine and the story of Zaine. My swamp is near the Patro an amusement and gathering area for families , near the banks of The Ottawa River in the vicinity of the Capital city of Canada . I will build on the trees and make use of hollograms and sound effects , for a spiritual and natural experience marked with an Appeal To Heaven Flags

Zain un gran actor y ser humano. Nadine maravillosa. Lo mejor para los dos !

[@armedgunman8988]

Ms Nadine, I agree. Movie making IS a Miracle. Story-telling is everlasting transformation. Never know exactly how it will go.

[@SE-tw2mb]

I really like this movie.i see a bright future to zain.really heartbreaking story inside.

[@bucketsofrain1]

This movie is extremely well made. Only one or two small things are really too simplistic - the way the characters of Zain's parents are portrayed as two heartless, soulless human beings - which has a populationist undertone - probably to satisfy the westerners. And the role of Western neo-colonialism and imperialism behind the refugee crisis and war is not even mentioned - no doubt people in West Europe and USA really liked the film. They did not need to feel any guilt. It is all middle-east, conservative, patriarchal societies problem - internal and structural. But I must say technically, visually, performance-wise, it is one of the finest films I have ever seen.

[@halimaaouidi1952]

Congratulations to the whole staff it s one of the most wonderful films I ve ever seen I realy felt that the events were true and zain was gorgeous I was thinking that this boy must have lived these events because he acted in a so natural way which made me curoius to know about him then I googled his name and found out that was a real refugee . What s more intersting about the film besides highliting some of most important issues in today s world is that it had made a change’in the life of these actors plus the humanitarian mission they re working on . Indeed the director toghether with the producer and the rest of the staff showed us the real role of cinema.thanks a lot for making us live this experience.

Habemos (tango fe en ese plural), que más allá de ficción, nos hemos planteado seriamente y con todas las consecuencias existenciales de ese acto, el derecho que tiene una persona de traer al mundo a una persona en condiciones degradantes (para quien lo reclama). Yo a mis 55 todavía hago ese reclamo, menos apasionado pero igual de vehemente. Creo que soy prescindible porque soy consecuencia de la ignorancia de un hombre y una mujer. Por eso no me doy importancia y mi refugio ha sido Nietzsche, Foucoult, Heraclito, y todos los pensadores no socráticos, para dar un sentido que no hay.

And what are you talking about when you are saying negative sites there is no negative or positive these are facts real life facts look I'm in Turkey I'm not away from these issues we have more than 3 million syrian refugees here in Turkey and I can see what is like their life. Most of them in poverty but still keep having babies and its nonsense they have to stop having babies they have to be preserved. Turkish government try its best to help them they have donation fees they have priority in hospitals their student scholarship more than a turkish student's. Still we can't catch up their fast produceing. Syrian or any other nation does not matter people stop make babies which they can't afford to care of.

[@detlefschmidt6789]

Drama about a child in Lebanon suing his parents for being born in this civil war zone. the child wants the parents to have no more children so that they do not suffer the same fate as it do itselve. The film's purpose is to divert responsibility for the situation in Lebanon from the State of Israel, which invades Lebanon again and again. A producer (sponsor) for this film is Susan Rockefeller, b. Cohen. No further questions, your honor ...
