Prado tells a story that goes beyond hagiography and the headlines but is a rigorous, incisive, unflinching story that tells the story of a town and a state that also reflects a larger American story. Go to Full Review Sarah M. Vasquez LatinaMedia.Co 09/01/2025

Director Anayansi Prado’s frequently infuriating, quietly powerful documentary is more of a hero’s journey as her eponymous subject’s ongoing demands for answers, change, and justice expose her to unexpected perils in the aftermath of trauma. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest 03/20/2025
