“There’s Hadi Azmi, a Malaysian journalist who covered the story from start to finish, up to and including the eventual 2019 trial. (No spoiler to say that both girls were eventually released.) Azmi is an excellent guide, explaining the limits on the press in Malaysia's state-owned media, and how this came into play during the search for truth.”

Candice Frederick at Harper’s Bazaar:

“Detailing everything from Aisyah and Hương’s humble upbringings and desperation for money, to Malaysian journalist Hadi Azmi’s relentless pursuit for the truth, to a corrupt political agenda pointing to Jong-un’s family dynasty, White’s film is a remarkable achievement on every level.”

“Director Hadi Azmi conducting an interview for his documentary Orétulo… [which] examines how the violence beyond Malaysia’s border with Thailand, where a long-standing separatist insurgency drags on, impacts communities on both sides of the frontier.”
