Top CriticOne of the most staggeringly straightforward looks at death I've ever seen. The movie's grace note is its subtlety.

Writer-director Louise Hogarth shrinks an enormous issue down to human terms...

Top CriticAn inspiring portrait of a saint battling for the lives of the sick and forsaken in a frightened and superstitious world.

Writer-director Louise Hogarth's straightforward film documents the life's work of white South African activist Marion Cloete: Her efforts to feed, educate and love hundreds of abandoned and orphaned children.
