National Board of Review
“I loved the show. It was the first time i really understood what went on and who these people were. Not just people on the news, but complex human beings. The tapestry of the characters was incredibly fascinating. This show captured that and did it with such commitment, passion, and talent. My teenagers, who have no memory of the incident, were blown away. It will continue to enlighten audiences and will also make a fantastic film."

Not an event many would care to revisit, one would think… yet the critic’s reviews have all been favorable, and the theatre has been packed..”
