Leave your thoughts about The Boys of Baraka.
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellThe Boys of Baraka leaves you outraged in the way only the best documentaries can. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowOverflowing with comedy and drama, The Boys of Baraka unfolds on the mean streets of Baltimore and in the wide-open spaces of Kenya. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonRegardless of its shortcomings, The Boys of Baraka introduces a project that seems to do for Baltimore what Jaime Escalante did for inner-city Latino kids in Los Angeles. For this we must be grateful. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonRaw emotions, both uplifting and depressing, are captured. |
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardThere are difficulties along the way, none of them slighted in this award-winning documentary, as well as a surprise at the end that's as sobering to the viewer as it is to the children. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThere are many tragedies and accomplishments here, without the engineered uplift afflicting any number of lesser documentaries. |
| About.comJurgen FauthIf American TV journalism were doing its job, reportage such as this would be regularly playing on major networks instead of limited runs at art house theaters. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisEwing and Grady's film is determined to look past harrowing statistics and root for its subjects to beat the odds. It doesn't always happen. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatCharts an experimental educational program that takes African-American boys from the ghetto streets of Baltimore to the wilderness of Kenya. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereBegs the question: Do we want to build better schools or bigger prisons? |
