The documentary-type style of filming always works great with stories like these, you almost feel like you're watching a long news report, which gives you a sense that what you're watching isn't a movie, but real events, making it almost uncomfortable to see. It's a movie that raises many questions, and never really answers them, just like there's no real answer for them in real life either. We're all part of a broken system, too far down the rabbit hole to be saved. The ending works great in that sense, it leaves it to the audience to imagine what happened next - the hopeful and optimistic would picture a happy (all things considered) ending, the realistic would probably imagine little Issa getting shot.
