Movie Reviews

Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasIt's a testament to the filmmakers' subtle storytelling skill that we come to see these boys as heroes as well as victims.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Richard PortonThe filmmakers are better at fashioning haunting images than offering hard-nosed analysis, yet they never sentimentalize their young protagonists' plight.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Tom KeoghA mesmerizing documentary both exotic and sad.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Louis ProyectPowerful study of child labor in Bolivia, as well as the role of indigenous beliefs in sustaining the community based on the nearly exhausted silver mines.
L.A. Weekly - 7/10 by Ernest HardyIt’s the captured conversations about everyday lives and struggles that pin you to your seat.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThis beautiful, terrible story is not easily forgotten.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Ed GonzalezA work of noble intentions that's aesthetically slight and low in contextual carbs and righteous indignation.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanThough they're telling a story of potentially deadly child labor, filmmakers Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani never amp up the drama, wisely preferring a straightforward approach that respects the bleak reality of their subjects.

Film Journal International - 6/10 by Maria GarciaThe flawless progress of this documentary lies in the filmmakers' unwavering fealty to their subjects.
