The untold story of the sterilization of thousands of Native American women at the hands of the U.S. government.

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

The multi-stranded story examines how the systematic programme of sterilisation of Native Americans in the 1960s and 70s, a policy that resulted in the eradication of a whole tribe - has affected several people's lives.

Rated: 3/5

Dog and Wolf

This particular grizzly story deals with only the one issue, but other issues might have been raised in passing such as the adoption scandal of Native American children being adopted by white Americans? Well-meaning no doubt.

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

Despite its shortcomings, Amá is an important and powerful documentary, and it ought to be seen by as many people as possible.

Rated: 7/10

The subject matter feels important, but in terms of filmmaking craft, it's a solid work, rather than spectacular.
