Reviews

‘As well as being a remarkable tale of an extraordinary person, the genius of this documentary likewise lies in its thoughtful examination of the genre and the subsequent impact.’
★★★★★
Andrew Murray, The Upcoming

‘This documentary serves us a bit of roughage – a look at poverty and misery in Nepal – but sweetens it with a triumph-over-adversity tale.’
★★★★
