October 22, 2012 – Huffington Post write-up and review by Deborah Stambler

Excerpts…

“…seeing this film made me realize: Yes, our system is flawed. No, I’m not always sure whom to believe. But I still want to be part of this. I want to be part of this messy, frustrating system and be active in my community.”

“The story A Whisper To A Roar tells is far from easy. The material is complex and timely, and the uncertainty, violence and constantly shifting political situations make the filmmaker’s task a daunting one. Moses handles the difficult material adroitly and though parts of the film are difficult to watch due to violence, what shines through is a core belief that people will go to great lengths to make their voices heard.”

October 22, 2012 – University of Southern California’s The Daily Trojan write-up on “A Whisper to a Roar” by Jordyn Holman

Excerpt…

“Though the filmmakers did not purposefully schedule the release of the film to coincide with the [first Presidential] debate, the close proximity of the two events added a fresh perspective to A Whisper to a Roar.  Before viewing the film, the audience watched the debate, then witnessed seeing the other side of democracy in Moses’ documentary.  This contrast emphasized the recurring message of a democracy being only as strong as the people willing to fight for its vitality.”

Excerpt…

“I’m coming to a place where reading, thinking, writing about the struggle and the process of struggle are fascinating.  I know that I’m doing all of this from my cozy American home, not on the front lines, not in harm’s way or trying to protect my children, find food, etc.  But this is the first step.  I am paying attention.  This is exactly the kind of introspection that the film A Whisper To A Roar encourages.”
