DAILY EXPRESS FOUR STARS

"Campbell and his son-in-law Ben are as tenacious and admirable as characters from a Frank Capra classic in a deeply moving film shot at considerable risk to all of those involved."

SCREEN INTERNATIONAL

"Evidently filmed illicitly but betrays none of those signs in a handsome, HD-shot production which seems set for theatrical consumption. Its story is tense and surprisingly moving"
