White Riot

"Could not be more pertinent, even if its treatment is somewhat workmanlike and dry."

"[A] highly engaging and suddenly very relevant documentary..."

"An engaging historical story with timely contemporary echoes."

"It's a cliché to describe a film as "essential viewing", but this really is."

"An excellent brief documentary about a heroic grassroots political movement whose importance reveals itself more clearly in retrospect with every year that passes."

"Especially compelling in its depiction of political organization in the analog age."

"Here's a blueprint for resistance."

"It dispenses with expositional voiceover and clocks in at a lean 80 mins. But all of that pales beside its central message."

"Feels at least half an hour too short."

"Arriving with near perfect timing, White Riot is a powerful, persuasive look at a group of people who, rather than being superheroes, were simply “ordinary, anti-racist citizens”."
