The critical consensus

An engrossing slice of modern history.

****(*)Simon Crook, Empire Online, 10/03/2014

You'll need a rewatch to understand what's going on, but the filmmaking is not exciting enough to really warrant it.

David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 13/03/2014

Quietly heroic in every way.

****(*)Ali Catterall, Total Film, 10/03/2014

It's a fascinating story.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 13/03/2014

This documentary prises out French (but Algerian-born) businessman Jean-Yves Ollivier into the light and reveals the remarkable role he played in the end of apartheid.
