What did reviewers say about the film?
“Watching WRIT WRITER, viewers experience its seamless, methodical, gripping pace, which seems pitch perfect for the story it narrates – of human degradation, cunning and courage, triumph, and personal tragedy. The documentary should engage young people and adults alike. Writ Writer shows how one person can use the courage of his humanity and the resources of the law to make a difference.” — American Bar Association
“My wife and I watched it … mesmerized . It is truly powerful, an amazing story, both inspiring and heartbreaking.” — Howard Zinn, PhD
“The film is a brutal, revealing look at the Texas prison system as well as an inspiring portrait of human endurance.” — The Week
