San Francisco turns into a playground for tech moguls of the sharing economy. Meanwhile, middle class and ethnic communities are driven out by skyrocketing rents and evictions, sparking a grassroots backlash that challenges the oligarchy of tech.

Walter V. Addiego

San Francisco Chronicle

"Company Town" won't change anyone's mind about the issues. It's aimed squarely at enemies - you know who you are - of what the film's production notes call "the new oligarchy of tech."

Rated: 3/4

Pacific Sun (San Rafael, CA)

The tense soundtrack and the rich visuals emphasize what's at stake-the city, even going through its ugly stage, certainly looks stunning.

Company Town celebrates grassroots process and energetic democracy. It may just be the finest political film of the year.

SF Weekly

The must-watch film reminds us, as the next election nears, that San Francisco is facing a moral crisis and that we need to be on the right side of it.
