Our take

Before her ravishing fiction debut Prayers for the Stolen, Tatiana Huezo delved into the lives of two women caught in a whirlwind of violence in this stark, atmospheric documentary. A frank and contemplative look at the physical and emotional impact of crime that finds poetry in the darkest places.
