"Heading for the US-Mexico border from Guatemala, single mum Lilian and her four children endure an arduous 3,000-mile journey, the perils of which are intimately captured in Danilo do Carmo and Jakob Krese’s piercing documentary." - Guardian
"Suddenly the question arises whether her goal is really this rich country. Isn’t it rather about finally standing up to male dominance and traditional gender roles? It’s very obvious that one thing remained on Lilian’s arduous way: Fear has yielded to a new self-confidence." - DOK Leipzig, **Winner** Honourable Mention.
"Like its cinematography, What Remains on the Way finds beauty in unexpected places." - A Good Movie to Watch
"Rather than reaching the USA it is the resistance to male domination and traditional gender roles which changes her life and that of her children for the better." - Visions du Reel
