Reviews:

"Mesmerizing...In less than 60 minutes, this little film about an Indian reporter delivers powerful insights into the enduring story of human suffering and its shining corollary, imperishable hope...challenges us to do more with the privilege of free expression bestowed upon us by democracy." Stephen Hume, Vancouver Sun

"In the age of media convergence and indistinguishable pack coverage of staged events, news conferences and celebrity capers, Sainath's passionate pursuit of individual truth to illuminate society is a clarion call for more thoughtful journalism. All journalists, veterans or newcomers, would benefit enormously from learning his methods." Lionel Lumb, Acting Director, Carleton University School of Journalism & Communication
