two thumbs up

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2017)

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie with it's straightforward depiction of the 3 women who show us courage and commitment in the face of the challenging race relations of the time. Definitely a sanitized view of that era but the power of the film is in its strength of character and relentlessness of the 3 protagonists. It's a feel good film that achieves its aim of showcasing the subtle power of women to create their own results and make positives of the situations they find themselves.
