“Cinema is valuable when it is national, when it comes from the soul of a country. Recently I was not impressed by a film, but rather by the documentary film AGORA.”
Costa-Gavras, Interview at VIMAgazino
“It would be nice if our government team would take the time to look at such films in order not to lose touch with reality – in order to remember that the aim of its policy is to prevent such conditions instead of causing them.”
Orlando Pascheit, NachDenkSeiten
“Perhaps the most important documentary of the year.”
Thomas Schneider, Haus des Dokumentarfilms
