The Price Of Sugar: reviews
"Riveting!"
Lael Loewenstein, Los Angeles Times

"Haney has taken a story of outrage and injustice and made a film that's as much an inpsiring story of spiritual awakening as it is a call to action."
- Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

"This eye-opening doc...is nothing short of blistering."
- Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

"Provocative...an impressive cinematic achievement. This picture has a visual sweep that many docu films lack."
- Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

"Dramatic and Riveting...One of the stand-out documentaries at Austin's SXSW festival."
- Peter Brunette, Screen International

"An unsettling look at the conditions under which the Haitians live and work...Fundamentally, a celebration of the good that can spring from one individual's deep religious commitment and from well-organized, non-violent methods of mass resistance."
-John Mulderig, Catholic News Service

"Uplifting and enraging in equal measures....(has) one of the most compelling heroes of any movies this year."
- Jim Hemphill, reel.com

"A fascinating portrait."
- Ella Taylor, Village Voice

"Stirring, emotional tribute."
- Gerald Peary, The Boston Phoenix


"An even-handed and thorough probe of the inhumane conditions existing within an industry whose product this country imports with blind, if unwitting, abandon."
-Anne Lewis,
The Austin Chronicle

"Pick of the week!"
-
Sustainable Table

"Here's one for audiences who think there are no fresh outrages in the world, or no heroes worth fighting for."
- John DeFore,
Austin American Statesman

"Director/producer Bill Haney has given us a sobering picture, one that shows that even now, in the most technologically advanced era of all time, huge populations in the world live and die like it was still the Dark Ages."
- Peter Vonder Haar
Film Threat

"A powerful film"
- Robert Wilonsky, HDNet
