Barker's documentary about the Arab Spring has a subtle conceit at its heart.

The film commendably gives us vivid and memorable people whose personal stories strikingly illuminate their peoples' struggles ...

It doesn't even begin to cover the scale and toll of the cataclysm in any of the three countries, not to mention the Arab Spring as a whole.

CineVue

[A] thoroughly emotionally dishonest film that aims for pedagogical enlightenment and lapses into trite feelgood disparate fantasies.

Rated: 2/5

Thrilling reminder that people are ready to die for their ideals in a period of history when corruption and brutality run rampant, starting with the White House.

The List

The question posed throughout this film is whether there comes a time in every peaceful campaign that some form of armed struggle becomes almost inevitable.

Rated: 4/5

Not so great ... the segments don't really cohere, but are pasted together with flashy graphics. A bit more back history and less self-aggrandizing exhibitionism by some of the interviewees would have made for a better movie.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
