Stateless

“Wonderful storytelling.”

"The covert cinematography one sees throughout STATELESS illustrates the personal risks that subjects like Rosa and Juan Teofilo assume while bringing such stories to light"

“A chilling and important look at how hate speech can lead to outright violence and a populace that’s fearful of speaking up against outright injustice."

"A fascinating, often infuriating work of non-fiction, Stateless is a richly textured piece of filmic revolution."

“Stateless shows how easily systemic racism and political power can erode a society like a virus... It is a cautionary reminder of how easily one can become a stranger in your own home."

“Stateless is yet another example of the xenophobia and racism that plagues the world.”

"Stephenson’s nonjudgmental approach, cross-cutting between the two women, exposes the hypocrisy of nationalism, and the toll on those who fight it."

“Stateless points out universal themes of access to citizenship, migration and systemic racism.”

"A taut, scarifying portrait of a Haitian population under siege."

"Stephenson’s film is confronting and even radical as it points to corruption and systemic abuse."

"The use of both visual and thematic chiaroscuro beside the folk tale and the use of dramatic editing create a strong narrative that keeps the viewer watching until the very end...highly recommended."
