Review For Harvest of Empire |
The stories grow more eye-opening as filmmakers Peter Getzels and Eduardo Lopez paint a recurring picture. Stephanie Merry-Washington Post
Getzels and Lopez take a refreshing approach in this age of punditry and choir-preaching. Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle
As an analysis of the causes of migration, it is one-dimensional and unconvincing. But as a social history of Latinos in America, it is provocative and fascinating. Kerry Lengel-Arizona Republic
Cogent doc makes the persuasive argument for the role that U.S. military and corporate interests have played in the influx of immigration from Latin American countries. Frank Scheck-Hollywood Reporter
The filmmakers retain a touching faith that most Americans won't tolerate injustice when they know about it. This film is meant to teach them. Rachel Saltz-New York Times
This sobering and much-needed look at Latino migration is built on an undeniably optimistic premise: that once Americans have accurate facts, "they rarely allow injustices to stand." Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News
