Guardian

The film could have included more insights from a female perspective... Still, this remains a courageous and absorbing documentary, highlighting a new Congolese generation that dares to make their voices heard.

Rated: 3/5

TAKE ONE Magazine

...a visually and narratively gripping record of why civilian opposition rises and how they can fall apart. The tale is sharp and vivid in presentation, but bleak in outlook.
