Ties That Bind Movie Review


Ties That Bind - an amazing film!
I write this review after watching this film for the second time. The first time I watched it was at the TransAfrica Forum film festival in Washington, DC in 2012. I left the theatre with a feeling of having a connection with the characters portrayed. I remember everyone coming out with expressions of amazement on their faces. Some were speechless.
