"This movie truly left me stunned. While I knew the US isn't a perfect country, to see how awful of one it can be was horrifying, to see how horrible humans can be to one another at such a personal level was worse. This is by no means a light film, but it is one i hope people will watch anyway."
"For 243 years, the United States of America has been a beacon of hope to the world shining a light on justice, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The decisions and actions displayed in this film are not representative of who we say are to the world. They reveal a dark chapter in our history when our thirst for vengeance blinded our ideals. Great art can serve as a mirror. If you do not like the reflection you see in the mirror, this film asks a simple question."
"I just finished this film. I was deeply deeply moved by every part of it. "

"Ethical quandaries from one end to the other, based on a lot of very hard truth, revealed gradually. Beautifully cast. "
