Informative, ire-stoking but formally conventional... Go to Full Review Louis Proyect Counterpunch.org 03/09/2018
Like fellow German Werner Herzog, Fatih Akin is as adept in documentary film as narrative. Also, like Herzog, he a humanist. This film pits the salt of the earth against a bureaucratic environmental nightmare in a small town where his ancestors lived. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 03/03/2013

04/17/2013 Intéressant mais trop long, bien que le film ne dure qu'1h30. Il aurait gagné en impact dans un format de 52 min car il ne fait que montrer les mêmes choses encore et encore, et, si la cause est très juste, d'un point de vue cinématographique c'est un peu lassant malheureusement...

At its most frustrating when showing the complete indifference of many government officials and the abdication of responsibility for damage resulting poor planning and development to 'the will of God."
