“The film lasts 89 minutes. What it leaves us with is the anger and guilt of a lifetime, as we experience each minute being lost in the face of bureaucratic apathy and growing danger.”Read full review ↗
“A remarkably moving docudrama about a tragedy the world must not forget. Watch it to witness a deeply human story that puts a face and a voice to the devastating cost of conflict.”Read full review ↗

“This is a film intended to be discomfiting and emotionally devastating. Here, the results have a crushing impact.”Read full review ↗
