Reception
Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote "One of several recent docus that give credence to the old feminist saw that if women were given power, they would speedily put an end to war".[1] Slant Magazine praised the film writing "Even at its spottiest, however, Bridgham’s overarching portrait of political upheaval is compassionate and insightful, and in courageous Devi’s quest for maternal and social justice, the director discovers a symbol of both inspirational human rights advocacy, and the terrible tragedy of tyranny".[2]
