Review of Avital Under Fire

The carpe diem aspect of Avital’s story is moving. A bit more could have been drawn out to connect the suicide bombing and the venture to NYC to become a singer. As it stands, we are merely presented with the suggestive proximity of the two events. Avital’s a nice subject, I just feel like the story might have been richer if we were given more anecdotes and more scenes to get more of a sense of who she is.
