IMHO REVIEW :
just finished watching this... the theme / idea is a great one. the way it was directed / edited is total crap. the first 5 minutes were so aweful i almost turned it off - but i heard good things about it so i powered through it... it got better.

again - the story, the people everything about the movie is great except for the way it was shot, edited and the good aweful soundtrack. i would give it a higher rating if not for those items i mentioned.

the project happened from 1998 - 2001.

here's what amazon.com had to say bout it : Whitwell Middle School in rural Tennessee is the setting for this documentary about an extraordinary experiment in Holocaust education. Struggling to grasp the concept of six-million Holocaust victims, the students decide to collect six-million paper clips to better understand the extent of this crime against humanity. The film details how the students met Holocaust survivors from around the world and how the experience transformed them and their community.
