'' Not My Life '' was named Best World Documentary at the Harlem International Film Festival in September 2012 . Nancy Keefe Rhodes of '' Stone Canoe '' called it a " highly-distilled ... remarkable film , " describing Bilheimer as " committed to strong story-telling and film-as-craft . " She commends Bilheimer on alternating between American sequences and scenes in other countries , allowing " the experiences of young women with whom an American audience may more readily identify to become one among many woven into the fabric of global trafficking . " Tripurari Sharan , Director General of DD , said that his organization was pleased to air the film and hoped that doing so would bring about greater awareness across India about human trafficking in the country . He called the film " both an eye-opener and a profoundly moving call to action "
