Entertainment Reviews:
Ressa is a compelling figure whose arrest has made worldwide headlines; she warns that these authoritarian tactics are spreading beyond her country’s borders as democracy dies not in one swift coup but by a thousand cuts.
Los Angeles Times
[T]he absorbing and multipronged A THOUSAND CUTS presents the country as a test lab for autocracy -- and suggests that its experiments have a high potential to travel.
New York Times
[T]he film is an essential character-driven document of a moment in the history of a country facing some challenges that are disturbingly familiar and others, thank goodness, that Americans will find very foreign.
Hollywood Reporter
[I]t’s hard to overstate the relevance of what A THOUSAND CUTS reveals about a democracy sliding into authoritarianism -- and what Ressa has to say about the proper ways to push back.
A.V. Club
A THOUSAND CUTS isn’t so much a warning about what could happen in the United States and other countries; it sounds an alarm about what is happening everywhere.
RogerEbert.com
Ressa’s seemingly boundless energy, good humor and intelligence make her basically a power plant for the manufacture of inspiration in embattled times.
Variety
Product Description:
In 2012, Maria Ressa, along with three other colleagues, founded Rappler, an online news portal that publishes investigative pieces. The news site caught the attention of the Duterte-led Philippine government in 2016, when it started publishing articles critical of the administration, especially with regards to drug policy and disinformation. A Thousand Cuts is a documentary film that centers on this conflict, and what its repercussions are on press freedom in the country. Written and directed by Ramona S. Diaz.
