Melissa Anderson

Village Voice

Connie Field's documentary on apartheid and its defeat is a triumph of maximalist filmmaking.

Keith Uhlich

Time Out

The value of Field's film is in how it shows the snowball effect of persistent protest: Hate eventually buckled, though the melancholy of the movie's final passages suggests there's much more injustice to bring to light.

Rated: 4/5

Slant Magazine

This seven-part documentary about the decades-long fight to dismantle the murderous apartheid government of South Africa does not bend to the Great Man theory of history.

Rated: 3.5/4

This is one of the most engrossing documentaries I've ever watched, and I watch many documentaries. It is moving, and it open your eyes to a nasty period of history.

Kind of boring if you don't care for educational programming, but if you are looking for some good info on the subject of segregation, and South Africa, and stuff this is the place, it's better than reading I guess.
