Reviews

“The simplest thing to say about SXSW Documentary Spotlight Audience Award winner Who We Are is that it should be part of the standard curriculum in every school in America.”

Michael King
Austin Chronicle

“Robinson is a precise, empathetic, and informed speaker and a righteous man who, in sisters Emily and Sarah Kunstler’s documentary, is every teacher you might have ever wished for as a student, but who deserves a larger stage.”

Fionnuala Halligan
Screen International

“Through Robinson’s fervor for truth, Emily and Sarah Kunstler’s “ Who We Are ” chronicles how such heartaches, when observed on a personal level, remind us how knowing the unchangeable past can still improve the alterable future for the better.”

Robert Daniels
Los Angeles Times
