Dad's Preview:
This film intimately portrays a normal family, one that lives,
laughs, and has occasionally squabbles. They could be any of us.
Yet, they are swept up in the horrors of politics and regime
change. It is terrifying how strangers enter their home and take their
father. They show no warrant, no evidence, no proof. Just
obey and don't question things. (Sound familiar? Comply or die) This story really happened. The
shining star of this film is Fernanda Torres - her performance
is captivating. This still is repeating
around the globe, and it can happen to any of us. |
