Certainly worth watching for a copy for the classroom, because it does a lovely job of telling the bare bones while leaving darker tragedies between the lines.
Make sure you read the after notes.

With such an important and relevant story to tell, the graphic novel route was a great choice. Having the visuals to go along with the text and speech throughout only gives the reader a more in-depth experience with a situation that thousands and thousands of people in the world experience.
'When Stars Are Scattered' took me on a journey with two brothers and with my emotions. It is both a powerful and educational story and I loved every single moment of this reading experience.

In my opinion, it veered a little towards inspiration porn, which is common with stories about disabled folks as well as with refugee experiences written for a western audience. I don't want to judge too harshly though because from the author's note at the end it seems like it was a collaborative writing process and that Omar was satisfied with how his story was told.
