I have indirectly been touched by war through my mother. She would seldom talk about her eldest brother but when she did, her obvious love, was always tinged with pain of recalling his loss, at a young age, during war.

I'm glad "Number 24" was made.Its bridges the emotional divide between those who have known the pain of loss, of hope, of life and freedom imposed by war and those who have known only peace.

I think its a timely message too. As we are seeing, once again, the spectre of global war is slowly raising its hideous head with the loss of personal freedoms, particularly free speech, that accompanies its approach.

We all need to understand what war means to appreciate how sacrosanct peace and freedom, really are. Never listen to those who tell you "safety" is a substitute for freedom. Its not.

In summary, a moving, compelling, insightful film, that's a wake up call for humanity.A must see, I feel for the young, who may not fully understand how important peace and freedom, really are.
