Shadows of Sofia

Although he gets some fundamental problems right, the overall direction and details are wrong!

Absolutely disappointing from the beginning to the very end. Biased representation of what can hardly be called the reality expressed in the views of a few conveniently selected Bulgarians. There were probably one or two people in the so-called movie who contributed some actual facts, everything else even if partially based on any real events was so purposefully twisted to fit the US-Russia relations model that Kevin Booth went there to discover, that for me the movie lost all its credibility. Incorrect and partial translation of the words of some of the Bulgarians and even adding some more words just to make it even more ridiculous. There was no sign that Kevin Booth had put any effort into finding out anything at all about Bulgaria prior to his visit. Trying to portray the country as a leftovers-from-communism ghetto and inspiring the people with his American rebel spirit was laughable. Attempting to cover too many bases or to connect the dots (in his words) by using drones and a few non-identified participants, let alone the actual memes that were included - let's just say a point was not proved. To call this a documentary would be an exaggeration to say the least, to say that it has any entertaining purpose would be yet another stretch.

Finally someone recognized about the Bulgarian pain and slow disappearance! I live in America for the last 5 years I was blessed to earn a green card and start over, but the price to pay was leaving my family behind! I told as many people as I could about the movie, because nobody talks about it in Bulgaria, I hope it is heard from more people! The protests in 2013 I was there I hoped that this time we could do something so many people were there fighting for justice, but my hope was crushed, everything fell apart it is like it never happened.... Seeing your movie I was so sad, I cried the whole time almost, because knowing about something and actually seeing it is just totally different feeling! So thank you and God bless you!

I watched this movie 5 times and I send it to all of my friends. Why it is forbbiden in BG? I think it's because there is 100% true in the movie.

I want to thank Kevin Booth and his team about this amazing movie! It is an amazing documentary about the reality on the Balkans in general! I strongly recommend to everyone to watch it! It shows the dirty truth about the Mafia in Bulgaria and the undercover communism that rules Europe!
