"It's a hell of a film..."

—

Radio New Zealand

"An important and entertaining film about culture and identity..."

—

Screenhub

"Oscar Kightley's affectionate portrait of Brotha D, Andy and their friends is enjoyable even if you're not into the music."

—

The Australian

"An invigorating, uplifting and occassionally heartbreaking Kiwi success story."

—

New Zealand Herald

"It’s a beautiful balance of oral history, archive and storytelling."

—

The Spinoff

"A scarcely believable journey through family, community, ambition, hubris, disaster and triumph."

—

Stuff

"Stop drop and roll to the nearest cinema, one of the best local docos directed by one of New Zealand's best storytellers... needs to be seen."

—

Newshub

"An invigorating look at New Zealand’s own contribution to the hip-hop ideal of the self-made hustler, using words, beats, and street knowledge to make heads nod and hearts open."
