October 11, 2012 The New York Times Review By Nicolas Rapold
Excerpts:
“A Whisper to a Roar” is a vivid documentary with unusual access to the key players in the geopolitical dramas it recounts.
“…trenchant, polished interviews lend a firsthand immediacy to a whirlwind tour of supposed democracies and bold resistance.”
“This deft digest from the director Ben Moses is by turns shocking and inspiring as we witness both the brutal abuse of power and life-endangering dissent.”
“The footage plucked from archives — crowds, interview face-offs, heads of states grandstanding — can be electric.”
