Captain Abu Raed is a touching and truthful look at the impact that one man can make on the future of many. Beautiful vistas of an ancient city are the backdrop for this human story. Proving that you are never too old or too young to have an effect on your fellowman, Captain Abu Raed makes a difference.

Captain Abu Raed is a story about a janitor who leads the kids in his town to believe he is a pilot. The charisma the character is evidentally supposed to have is not apparent in the actor and the plot-line is a little unfocused, but the lush scenery and overall good-will of the film make for an interesting enough watch.

You will love Captain Abu Raed. It's heartwarming and heart-wrenching all at the same time. The tale is not complex, but it's beautifully told and held my interest. I'm still thinking about it several days later. This is a classic human interest story that exposes the highs and lows of humankind. It's a bit of an emotional roller coaster ride that will have you wanting to get back on at the end. Through the characters we can all see a bit of ourselves as we struggle to deal with life's complexities with kindness and compassion.
