ACCLAIM:
"Moving and thought-provoking."
--Mike Wilber, NBC News
"If you see it alone, you'll be thinking about it for days. If you see it with a friend, you'll be talking about it for weeks."
--Gerry Krochak, Leader-Post
"[Flight from Death] is a beautifully conceived documentary, sharp, accessible and timely. The skillful examination of violence in our world intended for a widespread audience, without diluting its power, is an excellent example of what can be done by artists driven to create, even in the obscenely constrained and costly world of American film."
--Inside Front
"[Flight from Death] is absolutely the best movie I have ever seen on the subject. Clearly as good as last year's Bowling for Columbine."
--Maui Film Festival attendee
