      Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The film bites off more than it can chew... but its argument is persuasive and worrying. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A timely film which demonstrates how easy it is for privileged people to miss the subtle effects of racism, and how dangerous living in a white supremacist society is for people of colour... Rated: 3/5 Jul 13, 2020 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Docmaker Judith Helfand probes a deadly 1995 heat wave that took at least 739 lives in Chicago's poorest neighborhoods. Helfand deftly connects the climate-change dots from Chicago's "unnatural disaster" to Hurricane Katrina... Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Louis Proyect Counterpunch.org A foreshadowing of the 2020 pandemic, with Richard Daley Jr., a Democrat, being just as unprepared as Trump and just as self-justifying. A necessary documentary. May 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
