"It's unlikely that any lecture documentary since "An Inconvenient Truth" has had the galvanizing potential of "Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America" - and if that sounds like faint praise, it isn't meant that way."
New York Times
"Through Robinson's fervor for truth, Emily and Sarah Kunstler's "Who We Are" chronicles how such heartaches, when observed on a personal level, remind us how knowing the unchangeable past can still improve the alterable future for the better."
Los Angeles Times
"Robinson’s quasi-TED Talk is both broad-ranging and deep, covering a history that is political, legal, cultural, economic, psychological, emotional, moral and, in the end, also profoundly personal."
