Reception

edit

One reviewer said of the film, "It is a tale of the exploration of morality, self-sacrifice, integrity and the conviction of one’s belief system. To those with an open mind it will offer a rich exploration of the past, but it is one that requires an appreciation of telling the story of the personal to take us inside the past, and bring child film star Muntu’s story to life."[2]
