Critical response
"Brilliantly executed,
exactingly researched, drags political cinema into the late eighties
with a dazzling mix of techniques."
Director of the Melbourne
Film Festival
"An impressive and powerful
mix of techniques and rigorously researched material. Maggie Cameron
gives a performance reminiscent of Germaine Greer via Meryl Streep."
