      Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times "E-Team" has a ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy as it takes the viewer on an intense ride-along with Human Rights Watch investigators. Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post Exciting, absorbing and stubbornly optimistic in the face of overwhelming devastation, "E-Team" will, with any luck, shed deserved light on the routine sacrifices these activists and professionals make for the sake of human values. Rated: 3/4 Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Steve Erickson Village Voice This threatens to become yet another film about white Americans and Europeans telling the stories of Third World people. But the rest of the film does much to redeem that dubious trope ... Oct 21, 2014 Full Review C.J. Prince Way Too Indie There's a good documentary to be made about the work these people do; E-Team isn't it. Jun 21, 2019 Full Review Di Golding Dear Cast and Crew Instead of playing on my Western, middle-class guilt, E-Team shows their subjects living similarly comfortable lives, nary a hair-shirt in sight. It's this lack of moralizing that gives the film gravitas. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Hannah Ryan Screen Queens ... ultimately, the most captivating aspects of E-Team ; as they allow us to delve into both the overwhelming good and the unthinkable evil that humanity is capable of.

      Audience Member Interesting story! Wished there were more points of view of other human rights reporters Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review georgan g What a thrill watching these dedicated people going into violent areas to help get the facts out to the world! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Awful. Overly-dramatised, self-indulgent and clearly more interested in the 'E Team' personalities than the people and stories in Syria they profess to be focusing on. In particular, the E Team member Anna is clearly a vain, egotistical Prima Donna who brims with self-importance and appears to have persuaded the editor to focus a lot of camera time on her ridiculous posturing and anodyne commentary. Anna, I dare suggest, would be better suited to a career on stage than in the field of human rights investigation. For anyone looking to watch a decent documentary on the Syrian conflict then I can honestly recommend HBO's Cries From Syria that focuses much more honestly on its subject matter than its producers. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the best documentaries I've seen. It really makes you appreciate the concept of what true fear looks like, and makes you appreciate the safety of your home that people don't feel in other places. There's scenes of families terrified of air planes flying over head, I couldn't imagine living like that, and it saddens me there are cities of people living like that. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member These types of documentaries always do a better job of highlighting the immense terror individuals face during these atrocities than any news story ever could. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A documentary that uses global issues to focus on four unique individuals, and what it takes to go into these environments. When it's focused on that, it works best. Of course, I cared about the issues affecting the people the E-Team represented, but I've seen some really great documentaries that go into more detail about these. What works better here is the investigation into what makes a person want to be on the E-Team, how does this affect their family, and their pyschological health. This is where the film best succeeds.
