Sundance Grand Jury Prize-winning documentary from the producers of An Inconvenient Truth on controversial Indian Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi.
"Indian Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi and his family have spent decades fighting for an end to child labour in India, and beyond — but not without controversy. Nevertheless, a combination of child rescues and aggressive lobbying has played a huge role in shrinking India’s child worker estimate from 12 million to four. Confronting the irate beneficiaries of illegal operations — factory owners, corrupt police and criminal mobs — is dangerous work. Satyarthi has endured serious physical injuries; one of his colleagues was beaten to death while organising a protest march." (DocEdge Film Festival)

"The film's edge, if not its worthiness, is slightly dulled by an over-slick approach that in the end makes it feel less like reportage than a first-class fundraising video."

Variety"An interesting advantage of this snapshot approach, though, is that it prevents closure, which sounds like a weird thing to be pleased with, but I truly appreciated that Kailash doesn't always have answers or happy endings or pat resolutions."
