Press

Central Alberta Film Festival

“Intimate and powerful storytelling. The technical qualities are absolutely first-rate, the test being that we so quickly forget that these lives are being mediated by the narrative. We forget the cameras, forget the editing and just become absorbed in it all. Truly impressive work. ”

Judges Panel
Pacific Arts Movement

“I watched the film and was quite moved... The concept of the film — a medical documentary without a clear target — is like an action movie without a villain, and requires a different approach to talking about the circumstances and working our way through the drama. The film does so in a really impressive fashion.”

Brian Hu, Artistic Director
