PRESS SELECTION

“ Beautifully shot, ... simultaneously humorous and disturbing.” - Lisa Henry (Jozi Film Festival, Johannesburg)

“Surely that is the best result a documentary can hope for” - Dean Bowman (Raindance Film Festival)

“An inspiring look at life” - Spencer Hawken (Views from the Edge)

“An insightful and intuitive documentary about an unfamiliar culture and lifestyle” - Jennifer Tate (viewlondon)

“That he (Tobias Lindner) has won the trust of the people of Orania is already quite remarkable but the stunning way in which he created this fly-on-the-wall portrait of a remarkable quirky and somewhat frightening town is something to applaud for.” - Alexandra Zeevalkink (DocGeeks)

“An accurate portrayal of Orania, delving under the skin of a people dislodged, yet strangely anchored by their beliefs, traditions, faith and determination, a sense of community binding them.” – Martie Bester (Screen Africa)

"Wer Südafrika verstehen will, sollte sich diesen Film nicht entgehen lassen." (Zitty)

"Lindner verfällt jedoch nicht dem Schwarz-Weiß-Denken. Vielmehr gelingen ihm gewissermaßen Grautöne."
(Zeit-Online)

"Lindner lässt seine Protagonisten ausreden, er drängt sich nicht ins Bild; seine Wertung fließt so sparsam wie unauffällig in den Film." (Film-Dienst.de)
