Arizona Republic Has a few weak points but still manages to convey a satisfying underdog tale. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 17, 2014 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times With the debate over America's unresolved immigration policies at fever pitch these days, the inspiring documentary "Underwater Dreams" makes for quite the timely entry. Jul 10, 2014 Full Review David DeWitt New York Times Modest yet meaningful, "Underwater Dreams" has a political point of view, shining light on underground Americans who deserve recognition.

Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2014 Full Review Tom Meek Paste Magazine Underwater Dreams unfurls as a cautious American fable of sorts. Rated: 7/10 Jul 17, 2014 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International As captivating as it is important, Mary Mazzio's seemingly modest tract about immigration achievement grabs you by the heart, as it grows and grows into something big and vital.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Just watched and was incredibly moved Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Full disclosure: I appear in this film. Director Mary Mazzio profiles 4 students from a West Phoenix neighborhood and their two coaches who competed in a sophisticated underwater robotics tournament and won, against all odds. From there, the movie explores the lives of undocumented families living in Phoenix. This engaging and honest biography is a must-see.
