What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
[An] illuminating if one-sided overview of the myriad ways in which women’s sexuality is controlled and subjugated.
Los Angeles Times by Maria Garcia
The issues they confront are not new, yet the stories of their radicalization are engaging, and Miller’s deft editing and objective approach result in a surprisingly intimate and life-affirming film.
Miller has pulled some far-flung threads together to create a fascinating “state of the struggle” report, one that women like Hussein are fighting, one speech, one interview, one graphic demonstration of FGM at a time.
