TURTLES CAN FLY

Foreign movie of the week:
TURTLES CAN FLY

Young orphan children, in Iraq near the Turkish border, eke out an existence in the days just before the US invasion. It's heartrendering and uplifting at the same time (well, maybe not so much of the "uplifting"). The characters are unforgetable.

You think YOU grew up in a tough neighborhood?

It's in Kurdish, with English subtitles. Get over it.

Enjoy.
