“I was weepy when I saw it, it is very cathartic, and will contribute to the healing of many... I believe that what you have done in this film needs to be done on a national level... We will use the DVD in our educational programs...”
Richard Wilson

““Two Rivers” is spectacular... Unlike documentaries that focus on unresolved Indian/non-Indian conflicts, this film tells of the success that awaits people who sincerely try to understand the issues. The people who made this film possible can be proud of a process that will serve as a model for others to follow.”

“I just saw “Two Rivers” and finally found the answer I have been looking for all these years.... Your work and message left me speechless... As I watched your film I sat with tears rolling down my cheeks. Is the answer really just so simple as ordinary people coming together and talking, listening to each other? I think you have shown us the way.”
Phillip Gottfredson

““Two Rivers” is really the essence of what public television is all about: People coming together for discussion, solely for the purpose of finding deeper understanding – to help viewers understand the cultures around them... “Two Rivers” does this in a straightforward and powerful way.”

“Excellent! “Two Rivers” shows how wonderful life can be for everyone when reconciliation occurs. It’s a great illustration of how positive white privilege, and the power they have, can be when used responsibly. We will be using it in our training programs”
Burel Ford

“I was deeply moved. I couldn’t get through it without tears. Too often people want you to understand them – You found people who took the time to understand others. Very well done!”
