Film Inqu iry\n\n'Tiny Souls doesn't shy away from harsh reality\, but is distinguis hed by the way it draws out the signs of optimism and normality that endur e against all the odds.' Screen International\n\n'The standout feature of Tiny Souls is the authenticity and frankness in the assessments that Marw a and her siblings make of their own lives.'
