Karsin doesn't adequately detail the political complexities of the struggle, but how can one not respond to someone like tribal leader Flor Ilva, who declares, "We women are warriors, not with weapons, but with our thoughts and through raising our children." Read full review

Well conceived and unmanipulative, it will play well with auds attuned to its social-justice themes. Read full review

The director's DV cinematography can be rough and ungainly, but it provides sterling glimpses of both family intimacy and its larger social context. Read full review
