"This compelling human portrait asks what the future holds when clear evidence of climate change presents itself and the most powerful politicians in the world choose to do nothing. An inspiring portrait of individual who knows that if one loves this planet, one must do all one can to save it." —Patrick Mullen, P.O.V. Magazine

"Good intentions take a toll in this astutely human film: Kisilu grapples with setbacks, disillusionment and a wife and brood of children back home who seriously miss him." —Peter Howell, The Toronto Star

"A look not only at the effects of climate change, but of the dedication it takes to be an activist and family man at the same time... An impassioned plea for climate change action." —Andrew Parker, Toronto Film Scene

"Through Kisilu's lens, we see the daily domestic impact of global warming; the problem at micro-level. We feel the emotional impact." —Kristin Innes, Moving Docs

"Both heartbreaking and inspiring." —Frank Swietek, Video Librarian

"As a climate change researcher, I found Julia Dahr's film a must-see documentary." —Professor John Grant, Department of the Natural and Built Environment, Sheffield Hallam University

"A compelling, engaging, and complex portrait [that] deftly illustrates the global structural imbalance in contemporary climate discourse and the importance of local movements. An excellent addition to undergraduate and graduate courses on the environmental humanities or on postcolonial ecocriticism and would complement the works of writer-activists such as Wangari Maathai, Arundathi Roy, and Ken Saro-Wiwa." —Professor Alexander Fyfe, Pennsylvania State University, in the journal Africa Studies Review
