Critical Acclaim —
“With their Sundance-premiering ADVOCATE they’ve created an in-the-trenches portrait of this unapologetic firebrand... A remarkable character. A warrior for justice who’s spent her entire adult life taking punch after punch, she forever gets up undaunted to fight another day.”
— Lauren Wissot, Filmmaker Magazine
