Reviews:

"Dramatic proof that the struggle for liberty is irrepressible."  
— Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States

"'Bastards of Utopia' is an inspiring story of militant creativity and invention. What can you do when the global cycle of struggles is in decline? How can you confront the fact that strategies of action and models of organization developed elsewhere just don't work here? Experiment, these activists tell us, experiment relentlessly until you discover through the brambles a path forward."
— Michael Hardt, author of Empire, Multitude and Commonwealth

"In the midst of the dark times we are now enduring, 'Bastards of Utopia' sheds light on the anti-authoritarian activism that now flourishes in 'post-Communist' Croatia. For those seeking evidence of twenty-first century experiments in both constructive rebellion and 'concrete utopia,' Razsa and Velez's documentary will prove a seminal film."
— Richard Porton, Cineaste Magazine

"'Bastards of Utopia' offers an intimate glimpse into the contradictions faced by committed young people trying to lead principled lives. Anarchism by its very nature has attracted the rebellious, the idealistic, and the passionate, and this documentary masterfully highlights the difficulties in spinning this sort of theory into practice."
— Joel Sucher, director of Anarchism in America

"The film is exceptionally authentic thanks to the willingness of the directors to share the fate of their subjects and because of their commitment to observing this theme over a long time period."
— Liburnia Film Festival Jury
