| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertPark and Byler began as objective documentarians who found this story being pressed upon them. They become advocates and are clear about that. |
| Boston PhoenixChris FaraoneNotwithstanding that it's an anti-hate advocacy piece, this YouTube-spawned documentary gives plenty of voice to the depraved foot soldiers and their opportunistic enablers. It just so happens that they look like race-baiting rednecks ... |
| Boston GlobeTy Burr9500 Liberty is not just about the clash of immigrant Hispanics and white nativists, but about what happens when a community's civic machinery is hijacked by ideologues and extremists -- and what exactly it takes for the silent center to push back. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIn other hands, in other times, it could have been a simple film that followed the democratic process... But Byler and Park saw their film growing organically in a new direction and went with it. |
| TheWrapDesson ThomsonMost of us are good people when we're sitting around the dinner table. What happens to us as soon as we step up to the public podium? |
| Austin American-StatesmanCharles EalyThe release of the new documentary 9500 Liberty couldn't be more timely. |
| Dallas Morning NewsCary DarlingA compelling glimpse of a community and, by extension, a country, in the throes of change. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekThis homespun documentary offers an insightful look into one of the earliest eruptions of local acrimony over the issue of illegal immigration. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe movie is such a polemic in favor of open immigration and such an attempt to demonize (through strategic cutting) the anti-immigration forces that it plays more like a propaganda piece. |
| User ReviewPatrick BA very powerful documentary about the current immigration issue occuring in the United States. |
