Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The film has extraordinary access to Amazonian communities and the rainforest environment and campaignes for women’s issues – this seems like a doomed battle when the status quo is so entrenched but maybe Marcielle has the strength to understand why. Rated: 3/5 Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Claire Fulton Loud and Clear Reviews It’s a film that isn’t afraid to be bold and shocking, heartbreaking and infuriating in equal measure. Manas emphasises the importance of speaking up and breaking the cycle, shining a spotlight on the bravery it takes to do so through the eyes of a child. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
