What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Ben Kenigsberg
Informative, if not always as specific as it might have been.
Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar’s documentary is monumental for its clamorous sounding of an alarm.
Robert Bahar and Almudena Carracedo’s straightforward but emotionally acute documentary works as both a thorough history lesson and a work of contemporary activism.
Los Angeles Times by Michael Rechtshaffen
As the legal proceedings progress, Carracedo and Bahar wisely keep their probing camera trained on the passionate faces of their subjects, allowing their stirring testimonies to take the spotlight.
The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
There is no big redemptive payoff here, just a few small victories and hopeful pointers to the future. The struggle continues. But this is still a very necessary story, delivered with rigor and conviction.
