Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act It may be a cliché concept, but the music here really is a kind of universal language, brilliantly and beautifully conveying a kind of national identity that is as diverse as it is distinct. Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Jay Weissberg Variety The resilience of oppressed communities holding on to their culture is the theme of this standout documentary. Jan 2, 2015 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage Smartly constructed in a way that eases us into the political message and hope for peace lying underneath the music and laughter initially portrayed. Rated: B Feb 27, 2016 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Despite disjointed editing and frustratingly minimal subtitled lyrics, the pride of culture to bolster people's sense of humanity and identity comes through loud and clear.
