More frightening than any Hollywood horror. i was disturbed. I cried. More importantly, I was educated, and applauded. In our hopelessly shallow world with little hope, I clung to the fact that kind and brave people still exist. And kudos (the sincerest) to the survivors of war. 'The Cave' is a motivator for us to be better.
I'd long debated with myself which of the fictions '1917', 'Marriage Story' and 'An Elephant Sitting Still' was the movie of the year but this brutal reality of doctors and their helpers working and living in a labyrinth of caves beneath a war-destroyed city is the clear winner. And that a place it above other shining documentaries such as 'Edge of Democracy' and 'For Sama' strongly expresses how impressed and moved I am.
Director Feras Fayyad, I wish I could shake your hand. Dr. Amani Ballour and everyone like her, I want to hug you in thanks. I'm glad some of you got out. It hurts to think of those doctors and staff arrested after the movie, and the unnamed doctor who died in prison.
