    Leba Hertz

    San Francisco Chronicle

  • Heart of Stone is a heartbreaker: a documentary about an inner-city high school that shows how hard, how necessary, and how infinitely rewarding it can be to open doors for kids who didn't know they were there.

    October 22, 2009 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

    Ty Burr

    Boston Globe

  • Heart of Stone is a portrait of a dedicated man -- smart, articulate, strong and tough-minded yet warm and compassionate, willing and able to reach out and communicate with his students on an individual basis.

    Kevin Thomas

    Los Angeles Times

  • Two things keep Heart of Stone from being like every other documentary about a dedicated principal who tries to turn a failed urban high school around.
