A woman from Gaza joins a clandestine network of women who are determined to make the world recognize Palestine's right to self-determination.

Chicago Reader

The animation is novel, but it's the interviews with Palestinian women that stand out.

Seattle Times

Through archival footage, riveting interviews with the participants, and evocative animations, we meet the brave women who organized rallies and educated Palestinians to be economically independent.

It's a painful story, but also an illuminating one that is well worth watching.

In light of Israel's depraved indifference to Palestinian life in the border with Gaza recently, this film is not only timely but powerful cinema.

Depressing as the subject can be, the film, itself, is a beautiful work of art.

The Film Experience

Similar in some ways to the female empowerment hit My Name is Malala, Naila succeeds where that one failed by not lazily resting on a subject who an audience is instantly expected to sympathise with.

Rated: B
