An Important Story Told Adequately
by ThereelscoopwithKK2025-05-08
7/10

"The story itself is one of tremendous hardship, bravery, and survival. For what appears to be a limited budget film the director is still able to deliver. There is no doubt that the acting leaves quite a bit to be desired. The costume design is not up to what you would expect and the camera shots are not good but acceptable. Again, despite all its flaws the film stays on course and delivers its message. The ending scene where it shows the real life character for me adds so much to it all. Being able to see the human connection in real life added so much strength to the importance of the story..."
