Leave your thoughts about Nae Pasaran.
| ScotsmanAlistair HarknessThe film explores this modest act of rebellion in an admirably low-key way that emphasises the fundamental decency of the men who took a stand. |
| The SkinnyGianni MariniNae Pasaran has a profound emotional core. |
| The ListEddie HarrisonNae Pasaran is a highly emotive documentary that demonstrates the power of solidarity in democracy, while also showing that admissions of guilt are rare. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondIf it's working-class heroes you're after, you're better off with Nae Pasaran, an unexpectedly moving documentary. |
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatModest, eloquent, informed and funny, the four are dream interviewees, able to recall in painstaking detail the events of the time. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonThe journey to this point for Sierra speaks of the passion project that it is - and the film benefits hugely from his engagement with the emotional aspects of the story. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIt's a good story well told, with an ending more moving than you'll expect even if you're a practised hanky-reacher in humane tales from the factory floor. |
| GuardianCath ClarkeSierra skilfully compiles archive footage of the coup and its aftermath, but doesn't fully explain how strategically important it was to ground the jets. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThere are some unexpectedly moving moments in an understated film that gets much of its charm from the down-to-earth decency of the characters. |
| User ReviewGordon MGreat documentary. If you're interested in Trade Unionism or Democracy, go and see it. You won't be disappointed. |
