| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasNot merely affecting and illuminating; it concludes on a note of hope. |
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardMartha Henry gives even the transcendent Katharine Hepburn a run for her money in the dope-addicted sweepstakes. A painful pleasure. |
| IFilmDave WhiteYou Should Pay Nine Bucks to See This If: Because you're not going to learn about this stuff from the evening news. |
| New York PostLou LumenickRefreshingly free of the high-mindedness that plagues so many well-meaning documentaries. |
| User ReviewShawn MAn excellent documentary about South Africa. It is a bit much and hard to take, really driving hard and shocking to see such confrontation, but the film seems utterly fair and objective. I think it is a rare film and a bold documentary. But cheesy. |
| User ReviewPaula BIt's easy to forget what happened in South Africa, what happened in Nazi Germany, etc. This helps you to remember, and has some really frightening parallels to this so-called "war on terror": Apartheid-supporting Afrikaners killed non-whites because they were "terrorists." Sound familiar to anyone? |
| User ReviewPatrick GInteresting documentary about apartheid in South Africa. Very touching and sad at the same time. |
