Viewing Notes

First short in the live action package and the one most likely to win (as predicted by me). Light humor and easily accessible. Set in Palestinian territory to illustrate the conflict with Israel with an unusual circumstance. It’s fine. And given that it’s not depressing like the other 4 shorts it’s most likely to win. Unless the voters want depressing.
