Reviews

This film is first-rate, very thoughtfully written and elegantly made. Very inspiring.

Don't let the fact that the documentary "William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe" was produced, written and directed by his two daughters, Emily and Sarah, lead you to assume that this is just some reflexive puff-piece on the man and his life. Indeed, with a scrupulous desire for balance and fairness, the filmmakers acknowledge the controversial nature of their father and his work, while at the same time evincing the love and affection any daughters would feel for a devoted parent.

William Kunstler was a great lawyer and when I say was, it is because that is what the story/documentary tells us, it is told by his own daughter and she gives a really good and loving memory of her father in his great days.But she also tells the story of a man that loves the lime-light and the attention that he was getting from the media.

A documentary about the lawyer William M. Kuntsler made by his two daughters, Emily and Sarah, who look on his story with a vision that's both honest and passionate.

This film by Kunstler's daughters Emily and Sarah, is a wonderful memorial to their father. Kunstler, along with Noam Chomsky Fred Hampton, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Huey P.
