A Path Appears
Review by Barbie on 07/17/20 review stating A Path Appears
I was so glad I was able to see this series. It opened my eyes to so much going on in this world with our children and women. It breaks my heart to see sex trafficking and child slavery. I am excited to see this brought forth to the public and to see those who are trying to make a difference. I applaud everyone who had a part in bringing this series to PBS. I havent stopped thinking about what I have seen and am talking to anyone who will listen to make them more aware and to find ways to help in our community too.

Kristof and Wudunn are absolutely remarkable in their approach to these sensitive issues and how they bridge the gap in educating the general public. A Path Appears grips and empowers the viewer.

this is so powerful
Review by Documentary F. on 07/17/20 review stating this is so powerful
I want to congratulate the team at Show of Force for a job REALLY well done on A Path Appears. I thought last nights Atlanta story was particularly well handled. The domestic violence advocate was incredible. And I was completely riveted by the mens group footage. I felt like I was seeing something on television for the first time. To hear these men describe what they had done, and to see the non-recognition that what they were doing constituted abuse EUR this is verite filmmaking at its best. And when the leader of the mens group said we always try to pretend this is about individual bad men, but its really society that permits this kind of thing to continue: this is so powerful. Thank you for bringing this to a wider audience.

Another great doc from WuDunn Kristof
Review by Debbie on 07/17/20 review stating Another great doc from WuDunn Kristof
A great, informative documentary about the obstacles women and girls must overcome to flourish and succeed in life. Tragic stories and amazing triumphs for some but not for most women alive today and living in poverty with their children.
