Sep 16, 2016 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire A strikingly present documentary debut that traces how the friction between a government and its people can metastasize into a dangerous state of insurgency. Rated: B Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Farran Smith Nehme New York Post The importance of the issues is what carries the film along. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Elias Savada Film International Much like the Native American struggles in the United States, the film focuses on the battle for truth, justice, and the South American way by Peru's ethnic citizens. Rated: 4/5 Mar 12, 2017 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Cinencuentro A relevant documentary with a view as objective as possible, allowing the audience to generate their own opinions.
