Detroit Shetown Film Festival’s reviewers had this to say about the film:
With a vivid attention to nuanced detail and exceptional performances rooted more in reality vs. characters that feel fictionalized, writer/director Nashwa Zaman brings audiences into a strained father-daughter relationship that demands for a strong character and voice to emerge from the familial situation.
CHAMP lets audiences know that there are no easy solutions and endings when it comes to your family, and that it’s good to be more than OK with accepting and choosing to deal with that.
