Reception

[edit]

A very positive review in TV guide stated, "not only does the film play an activist role in terms of engendering audience awareness, it also made a concrete difference in the life of one individual who was in critical need of external help - putting it in the rare category of such documentary predecessors as Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky's Paradise Lost trilogy and Errol Morris's The Thin Blue Line."[3]

The Canadian website Mediafilm praised the acting and editing.[4]
