    A heartening but tempered portrait of the media’s ability to effect social change.

    Rather than investigating the harrowing circumstances surrounding each day's broadcast, Orner is content to let each inspiring aspect of the network speak for itself.

    The film's overall presentation...feels a bit too cloistered and the subject perhaps too limited for feature-length attention.
  4. The A.V. Club

    The result is an uncritical, drama-free documentary that comes uncomfortably close to resembling a business-magazine puff piece.
