Home of the Brave Ratings & Reviews
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
In its sympathetic and humane honoring of Viola Liuzzo, Home of the Brave treats the fate of a woman who was, according to director di Florio, "murdered, slandered and deliberately forgotten in history."

Home of the Brave... will make you want to stand up for what you believe in.

An interesting docu about significant but little known event
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Even more than a crucial piece of remedial historiography, the film is also an unsettling exploration of the impact violence and shameful injustice continue to have on a family nearly 40 years after the fact.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Paola di Florio's haunting documentary about Viola Liuzzo, a Detroit civil rights worker murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 Alabama, adds to the case for ripping J. Edgar Hoover's name off the FBI building in Washington.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
There is altogether too much footage of daughter Mary wallowing in her mother's martyrdom.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Amazing footage from the glory period of the civil rights movement energizes this documentary about Viola Gregg Liuzzo.
New York Times
Anita Gates
Paola di Florio's poignant documentary tells the freshly outraging story of Viola Liuzzo, a white woman who was killed while volunteering with the civil rights movement.
Film Threat
Phil Hall
Powerful documentary, highly recommended.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
This doc recounting the tragic story of Viola Liuzzo, the only white woman killed during the civil rights struggle, doubles as a narrative of the nascent women's movement.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
The film's content and theme affect the viewer.
Film Threat
Brad Slager
It plays in a traditional mode of discovery, but the story is still absorbing.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Powerful doc that indicts the FBI as much as it condemns the Ku Klux Klan.
Variety
Scott Foundas
A serenely powerful, handcrafted film that navigates into a place Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once called 'the tangled discords of our nation.'
The Hollywood Reporter
James Greenberg
It is a film that should be required viewing by all citizens, especially students, if we hope not to repeat this awful chapter.
