Here's what reviewers are saying about MAQUILAPOLIS:
An old-fashioned story of potential, and of
what can be accomplished through simple determination.
--Martha Fischer, Cinematical
Anyone who's following the immigration debate
should see this film for the reality check that it provides
to the argument that investment in Mexico provides good jobs.
--David D'Arcy, GreenCine Daily
Argues not for special privileges but for a flicker of justice.
--Richard Corliss, Time
