Written and directed with wit and heart, this film surprises and engrosses. What constitutes exploitation? What is it really to be an ally? Where is the boundary between art and activism? Who has the right to tell whose stories? These and other provocative and timely questions are explored inside the riveting and very human journeys of the main characters. Suspenseful, brilliantly acted, and directed and edited with style and beauty, this is the best Indie I've seen in years. A theme that could easily have been polemic is instead meaningfully and movingly examined inside a suspenseful thriller that provides no easy answers and satisfies in every way.
