| IndiewireRobert Cameron FowlerIt turns material that could have resulted in a sporadic narrative into a profound statement that the Arab Spring is a continuation of humanity's constant efforts to make a better, more just world. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireThe film commendably gives us vivid and memorable people whose personal stories strikingly illuminate their peoples’ struggles. |
| Time Out LondonCath ClarkeYou’ll walk out of this electrifying documentary about the Arab Spring with your blood boiling. |
| Total FilmSimon KinnearBarker’s approach starts simplistic but gathers in complexity, insight and moral force with each story. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonAlthough lacking specific context and fussily presented, this is a harrowing account of the Arab Spring as witnessed by seven reluctant and committed activists in Libya, Syria and Bahrain. The footage of the violence inflicted upon civilians is truly terrifying. |
| The ListBrian DonaldsonThe question posed throughout this film is whether there comes a time in every peaceful campaign that some form of armed struggle becomes almost inevitable. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectThrilling reminder that people are ready to die for their ideals in a period of history when corruption and brutality run rampant, starting with the White House. |
| The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijA mixture of raw, first-hand footage, shot by protesters themselves, and more self-possessed interviewees ensures that the chaos and sometimes lethal risks of protesting come across as strongly as the pressing sociopolitical reasons behind them and the effects the events have had on the participants. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyA surfeit of harrowing on-the-ground footage during protest crackdowns, plus the protagonists’ testimonies, make for a frequently inspiring and exciting documentary. But helmer Greg Barker (“Ghosts of Rwanda”) also risks pretentiousness in various forms of stylistic and thematic overreach, while providing viewers scant explanatory info on the regional conflicts. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawGreg Barker’s documentary is a heartfelt, if historically disjointed, tribute to individuals who took part in the Arab Spring. |
