Thaainilam

Motherland is ultimately a touching cinematic experience that reminds us that, for children, the struggles that follow a war can be as devastating as the war itself—and that compassion and hope can become their greatest strength.

Thaainilam works not merely as a film about war, but as a human document of what war leaves behind. Despite a few moments that could have been handled with greater realism, Thaainilam succeeds in leaving behind a strong humanitarian thought.
