	Media	Author	Review
		Charlie Phillips The Guardian	"Chad Gracia’s peculiar documentary grafts together two apparently unrelated themes to spectacular effect (...) A rollicking ride of masterly narrative construction (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Even though it’s about conspiracy, genocide and imperialist oppression, this inventive documentary is told with humor and charm"
		Drew Taylor IndieWire	"[A] endlessly fascinating and sharply bizarre documentary."
