Critic Reviews:
- " Equally chilling and moving. " – Sarah Ward (Concrete Playground)
- " It's an astonishing piece of work, both fearless and artful in the way it encompasses and orders layers of information. If our world needs new forms to encompass the complexity of modern life, The Dissident points a way forward. " – Paul Byrnes (Sydney Morning Herald)
- " This hugely informative, superbly assembled documentary is designed to anger the viewer – and it does. " – David Stratton (The Australian)
