There is really no plot, it simply talks about all the wrong and hate in the world and how sometimes we come together from that hate, but asks why can't we come together without that hate.
The content is great. Made by middle school students, it questions things that we have seen on television and in photos, unsavory things. There are also some actors acting out a few scenes. All of the video clips from television have great camera work and quality and those filmed by the kids who made this documentary also have good quality camera work, although nothing really stands out. There is a lot of great background music that sets the tone and enhances the topics and ideas presented in the shot documentary film. The questions are definitely my favorite part. The question of why; why do we continue the way we are when we can be better is thoughtful and provoking.
The film's message is about becoming a better human and making the change you want to see in the world. It has lots of mention of shootings, wars, holocaust and other moments in history that younger children might not be aware of or ready for.
I give Why? 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Reviewed by Avalon N., KIDS FIRST!
