In Defense of WHERE HANDS TOUCH Pt. 1
Finally! After months of work (and many family related delays), my WHERE HANDS TOUCH review series is here! This is a multi-part review series about Amma Asante’s film about a little known piece of history and centers on a bi-racial girl name Leyna coming of age in Nazi Germany at the end of WWII. This review series not only covers the film itself but goes into certain parts of the history of the Nazi Reich to give you the viewer a stronger grasp of what Leyna and her family are dealing with in the film.
