'The extraordinarily brave testimonial of a group of men trying to rediscover the part of humanity they lost within the walls of that prison, ... driven by one single force: survival ... A necessary and brave film.' - Cineuropa

'Film exists as testimony to the resistance of human beings, to draw it out of them. It's not a question of ideology, it's a question of fighting for humanity ... The subject matter itself of TADMOR is resistance.' - Luciano Barisone, Director, Visions du Reel

'A surprising film that makes a strong impression.' - film-documentaire.fr
