My Child:
From the filmmaker:
|
“My Child – Mothers Of War,” is a film that can mobilize the masses and influence those in power to comprehend the grave impact of sending this country’s children to war. The film interviews mothers of American troops in Iraq and shows that although their opinions on war, politics, social, and cultural issues may differ, these mothers are bound by the bond that connects all mothers – limitless love for their child. Both political views are represented to show that no matter what affiliation you claim, the loss of a child shatters any semblance of party lines.
Hearing a mother speak about her child will always be more powerful than hearing any politician or military officer spout euphemized rhetoric chalking up their child’s death as an “acceptable loss.” The world needs to hear these mothers so they can see the faces behind the statistics and realize the most basic, humanizing fact of war – every soldier has a mother.
