"A film guaranteed to promote righteous indignation,
sadness and guilt -- as it makes the case that the
intertwined history of the United States and Haiti is
one of almost unutterable shame." – John Anderson,
NEWSDAY

"With Haiti again in the news, The Agronomist is an
apt history lesson about its political turmoil and a
powerful testimonial about patriotism in the face of
oppression."
 – Ted Fry, SEATTLE TIMES

"A compassionate and powerful tribute to a crusader
doing battle with 'no weapon other than his microphone
and a thirst for truth.'"
 - Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
