A very powerful film that takes an unusual and insightful approach.
The film is clearly about injustice, but in many ways, it is about perspectives -- how dominant forces shape perspective and how human beings can resist and reimagine perspective.
If you come to the film with an open mind, it will ask you to think about your own perspective, how it has been shaped, and whose interests it serves.
And it is also an argument for the importance of demanding justice for all. We are increasingly being told that there is only a just for 'our group', that everyone thinks in these terms, and that not to do so means missing out. Without preaching or lecturing, but rather by allowing people to tell their own stories, this film makes a quiet and subtle argument for a bigger vision -- that we can work together in solidarity, and that justice for all is the own way to bring security for all.
I highly recommend this film. It might even make you look at things differently.
