Right when my oldest son brought the DVD home from work, I remembered watching it when I was younger. He said he showed it to his World History class (the whole class was 15+). I had to watch it first, but when I did I decided it would be a good idea for my grand kids to see. Both of them lost their parents in the Army, so they had a little more insight than some kids do already. I wouldn't recommend it for all children, but for ages 13+ and any other kids who are mature for their age should be fine. Its not near as bloody as a lot of the video games or movies a lot of kids see.
