What people are saying
‘"Much like its subjects, Yintah is a film that knows its purpose, and serves it defiantly."‘
Dessane Lopez Cassell
‘"The gorgeous sweeping vistas documented by this film’s enrapturing cinematography gives way to hellish images of strewn, chewed up land marked by apparent and invisible broken barriers ... Yintah vigorously paints a resiliency that will never surrender."‘
Robert Daniels
‘"The fight for the future of the earth could not be more dramatically captured‘
Dorothy Woodend
‘"... an assured, gripping communiqué of whose histories we inhabit on and off screen, and how to ensure their preservation."‘
Saffron Maeve
‘"Yintah is a visceral, necessary, brilliantly executed film...a gripping and enduringly impactful experience deserving attention and recognition from all."‘
