"A riveting documentary... [an] astonishingly candid and deeply wrenching portrait of death, suffering and compassion."

Washington Post

"Defined more by the human capacity for resilience and compassion than by a relentless sense of doom... 76 DAYS suggests a way to face the future, with tears but perhaps also hope."

New York Times

"A remarkable front-line report... an emotional-wringer... a work of true direct cinema... the camerawork and editing are extraordinary in their immediacy and their sensitivity to chaos, exhaustion and resilience - often all at once. There's tenderness too, and awe."
