Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times The clunky organization and very basic production values give way to something inspiring. Nov 30, 2017 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter A dazzling array of talent presented in a very modestly-made doc. Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice This enjoyable documentary is a sampler plate crammed with bite-size pieces that only hint at the original fare's distinctive flavors.

Audience Member Marvelous! A must-see documentary at this critical time when the arts are under attack. This gem of a film is bursting with fascinating profiles of artists from all walks of life who have won the National Endowment for the Arts Heritage Award. It's a joyful and hopeful movie that will lift your spirits. See it and then spread the word! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is excellent! I did not want it to end and I wanted more. I left feeling proud to be an American for the first time in a long time. We are all "the other" and this film so aptly illustrates how it makes America unique. Loved it and will be recommending it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
