As far as documentaries go, the film is exhaustively researched, interviewed and documented. Read full review

The historical overview they provide is insightful and lucid, yet their polished production intermittently lapses into dry chronology while they bury the lead. Read full review

Ultimately, the Tickells cram so much into their 90-minute cause machine that nothing really sticks, and seemingly crucial interviews soon become distant memories. Read full review
