SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

jaimeperkins I just finished watching this film at the Traverse City Film Festival, I absolutely cannot rave enough about this film! the cinematography, the acting, the dialogue, everything is absolutely spot on! It is so intense that you, as the viewer, can feel the struggle that Mike Burden is going through and it just captures you and sucks you right in. especially if you know anything about the backstory on it and what really happened. To be honest this film emotionally drained me, I am literally exhausted from watching it. I would even have to go as far as to giving it 6 out of 5 stars, this is one of those do not miss movies!!!!

gbower-63363 I saw Burden at Sundance, and was captured with how poignant this film is. The tale is an incredible story--and has really effected me on many levels. Even though the story is 20 years old--the lesson is very timeless.

dhubin This is a remarkable story of a man's redemption and those who made it possible through courage and love. There are elements, including the name of the central character and an ironic twist that would seem like artifacts of a writer's mind, but they were not--real people, the events that happened to them, and how they chose to respond to those events, provided a story that called out to be told. Writer/director Andrew Heckler does an amazing job telling the story and the cast is terrific.
