Châteauguay

I think I saw this back in 2005 but noticed that it received a U. S. theatrical release in February 2008 so I wanted to write a review. Based on the secret airlift in 1985 of thousands of Ethiopian Jews into Israel, this movie is about one fictional boy's dramatic story of survival, adaptation and, ultimately, identity. This film is definitely worthy of attention. Still one of the only movies where I'm left undecided if it was too long or too short. I really can't decide if this is a 8 or 9 out-of-ten movie. I haven't seen it in so long. I remember it being really powerful and terrifying in some places but it didn't make my top ten for the year so I assume it's a 8/10 movie. Anyway, it's most definitely worth seeing.
