It doesn't matter if you're a Jew or a Muslim or a Christian or whatever, if you're a murderer than you're a murderer and no religion has exclusive rights to that. It's easy to believe what you're told or taught, it's not so easy to find out the truth for yourself and that's what this film is truly trying to say and show. You can't deny the facts, an innocent man was murdered trying to protect children from gunfire and it really doesn't matter where the man was born or the nationality of the children that he was trying to protect, it doesn't even matter where the shooter was born or what religion any of the people involved were. Strip away the b.s. of "Our book is right and you're book is wrong therefore we're better than you" and just pay attention to what really matters here... I shouldn't have to say what it is that's so important because it should be obvious but for those of you who just don't get it: life is f-ing precious and when a person dies wrongfully it's a tragedy and a burden that we all have to bear, no matter what country you call home or what god you pledge yourself to.

The Zionists hate the truth !

If there is a war between 2 parties, why would somebody pick against only one party and not even mention the other? Maybe because he has a political agenda? In this case he wraps it over with the melodrama of a sob-story so naive audiences fall for the melodrama and take sides against the villain. Old propaganda trick, used already 70 yrs. ago. Typical British treachery.

I checked other sources, such as wikipedia, and the facts seem to be very true to what actually happened. Quite an eye-opening story. I am not supporting either side as these types of actions seem to happen in every conflict, as evidenced by reports of some of our American troops killing unarmed people and families in recent conflicts. The people sent to war may start out as innocents, but war does things to people. Per Wikipedia: "Hayb is to be released in August 2010 after an army committee headed by Advocate-General Avichai Mandelblit decided to shorten his sentence. He will have served six and a half years before being released due to good behavior."
Per Wikipedia: "The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall" was nominated for 2009 BAFTA TV Awards as Best Single Drama (Simon Block, Rowan Joffe, Barney Reisz, Charles Furneaux) and won Best Actor (Stephen Dillane) and Best Director Fiction/Entertainment (Rowan Joffe). In Monte Carlo TV Festival Rowan Joffe won Golden Nymph 2009 as Best Director in a TV Film."

Based on true story but very one-sided. Story never really pulled me in.
