Rating: 3.5/4 --
The Raft ... revives the journey and the memories in a way that seems shockingly relevant at a time when no one on earth seems to get along.

Third Coast Review
[T]his was basically 'The Real World' meets 'Big Brother' with a little 'Bachelor in Paradise' before anyone ever heard of the term 'reality TV.'
Chicago Sun-Times
Favored with copious amounts of footage shot during the voyage, as well as Genovés' collected data and writings, Lindeen forged a riveting and illuminating study of the unscrupulous endeavor.

Los Angeles Times
A risky and complex film, like the adventure that has inspired it. [Full Review in Spanish]

La Jornada
By constructing an alternative to this narrative and giving a voice to the wounded yet resilient people left in its wake, Lindeen brings empathy and perhaps something like justice to what would otherwise be nothing more than a sex raft.

Rating: 3/4 --
Blinded by his ego, acting like the captain of the Bounty, Genoves apparently never realized the experiment was valuable and was yielding interesting if surprising results.

Chicago Sun-Times
Their reminiscences are thoughtful and emotional -- their well-worn faces beautiful, weathered afterimages of the ones we see in the footage from 1973 -- and they expose the complicated power dynamics that emerged in the group, as well as an easy camaraderie that challenged Genovés’s hypothesis.
New York Times
Product Description:
In 1973, Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés concocted a plan that would put 10 willing participants on a raft that would undertake a 101-day trans-Atlantic voyage, all in the name of finding out how violence and sex play out when humans are confined in a small place. The documentary, directed by Marcus Lindeen, presents the story of Acali, the raft, and its occupiers through two timelines - the past and the present, and it uncovers new relationships and connections forged within the small confines of the craft that flew under Genovés' radar.
