Leave your thoughts about Throw Down Your Heart.
| The OklahomanBrandy McDonnellThe stories accent the universality of people without needing to overtly point it out. |
| Seattle TimesTed FryThis is an honest journey into discovery that reveals the connection music brings between cultures where commonality is not always easy to find. |
| Projection BoothRob HumanickUnbegrudgingly hands itself over to the music of its chosen subjects. |
| Boston PhoenixChris FaraoneIf Fleck weren't such a gracious soul chasing the spirit of Sankofa, this could have been an exercise in exploitation of Graceland-ian proportions. But that's hardly the case on his magical musical mystery tour. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMichele KennerIt's a journey long on affecting songs and musical passages, and short on scholarship -- and that works just fine for Fleck's intentions. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee MandelFleck speaks more with his fingers than in conversation, and the pure musician-to-musician communications joyfully cross language barriers and instrument differences. |
| About.comJennifer MerinMusician Bela Fleck brings the banjo back to Africa, where it originated. Overall, the music is terrific and the film's intentions are good. But less would have been more. |
| SpoutBlogKarina LongworthA beautiful illustration of powerlessness in the face of art. |
| Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoThere's tragedy lurking behind every story, but also a necessity that transforms mere histories into something sacred. |
| User ReviewPaula HI'd give this Bela Fleck film 10 stars if you had them. This is one of the greatest documentary films of the century; music, anthropology, history, poverty, hospitality in four African nations and heart warming detail all around. This film is a must-see. I would even buy it on DVD. |
