It would be overstating the case to suggest that John Hume has been written out of history, but... we are beginning to lose sight of that dogged politician's contribution. Maurice Fitzpatrick's hugely professional documentary seeks to rectify that.

Rated: 3/5

Irish Times

Mallon also affords Hume the highest praise ("I would put him in the same breath as Parnell, Daniel O'Connell.") yet it's the misgivings that complicate the portrait and so humanise him.

John Boland

Irish Independent

This provided a glimpse of a more complex individual than the film was willing to countenance, and in the end we ended up knowing very little about the person it had come to praise.

Eye for Film

Packed with information and alert to the importance of details, this is an impressive example of the historical documentary art.
