"The film is lively, captivating and tells a wonderful story." – John Randolph, Founder, Schuylkill River Development Council
"“Free the River Park” is a film that demonstrates each step in the process of community activism. You see people coming together for a common cause, the tools they used to organize themselves and garner government support, and the persistence needed to make change happen. Even if the opponent is "big business," when you are on the side of community enrichment and common sense, the right decisions for all involved can and will be made." – Karin Pleasant, Co-Executive Director, Trade & Row Film Festival
