Leave your thoughts about 500 Years.
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlThe protests that lead to the overthrow of a president carry hard-to-avoid echoes of recent demonstrations in the U.S. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlYates’s films, like the world itself, have no template — they’re messy, rich with feeling, liberated from simple theatrical structures, always honest about what is possible. That one of hers ends with hope is a gift. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenPamela Yates’ 500 Years is a palpably passionate if somewhat less contained effort than the two films preceding it. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelValuable and frequently moving overview...of cross-cultural coalitions...clear and accessible in presenting struggles and points of view of Guatemala's indigenous peoples. |
| The New York TimesKen JaworowskiHeavy with emotion yet light on information, 500 Years has the curious effect of being both passionate and pale. You may find yourself championing its subjects even while feeling confounded by the omission of details by its filmmaker. |
| The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijMore convincing in its outrage and inspiring in its show of what the people’s will can do as long as the masses protest and demand to be heard, than as a rigorous historical analysis. |
| User ReviewMary VFabulous film! I took a friend who is going to Guatemala in a couple of weeks and it changed her whole itinerary and purpose for going. It certainly educated me about a country that has been off my radar screen--despite having worked six weeks in nearby Nicaragua in 1989. It gives me more hope for the US as well. |
