Movie Haiku:CIFF 2010: Managers of a children's circus in St. Louis (USA) take featured performers to Israel to teach skills to Jewish & Arab kids who ordinarily would never associate with one another. Everyone involved has the most noble intentions, but film itself never rises above its "aren't kids great" cliches.
