This film is a wakeup call in the best sense: urgent, clear, understated.

By Diana Clarke FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Provocative and hard-hitting, Every Last Child is a chilling reminder that even diseases once thought eradicated are still capable of rearing their ugly heads as a result of ignorance and prejudice.

Mostly, though, there’s hopefulness here, and determination to win a fight worth fighting.
