Jul 31, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Steve Greene indieWire Top Critic Rest in Power takes the long view, and Fulton urges people to get involved. Jul 26, 2018 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Dramatic docu about birth of Black Lives Matter movement. Aug 7, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The grief is almost too strong to witness in "Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story." Jul 27, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald [It] fulfills the promise of this fretful beginning, emerging as perhaps the definitive treatment of an American tragedy, the consequences of which reach far beyond one family, one community, one case. Jul 26, 2018 | Full Review… Matt Brennan Paste Magazine Powerful revelations are unearthed in just the first episode of five, thereby auguring Rest in Power's prospects to be in the same sphere as OJ Simpson:Made in America. May 2, 2018 | Full Review… Argun Ulgen PopMatters What started as an effort to record a moment in history became, by the end, a documentary of the moment we're living now. If ever a series had enough material for a second season, sadly this is it.
