    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Fight' is a documentary showcasing the ACLU's commitment to civil liberties via high-profile cases. It is lauded for its narrative, emotional depth, and insight into attorneys' work. Yet, some criticize its perceived bias, especially regarding controversial clients and political issues. Debates arise over its balance between free speech and marginalized group protection, with concerns about its potential recruitment and fundraising roles.

    A "Must Watch" for Everyone Who Cares About Civil Rights in America

    This is an excellent documentary. It juggles masterfully four recent ACLU cases, never losing the narrative thread of any of them. It is an important documentary exploring in a serious way issues great significance. And it manages to do that with moments of humor and poignant emotion.

    Heroes One and All...

    For as long as there's been injustice there's been incredible people fighting to right those wrongs and this is an excellent example of the brilliant folk at ACLU doing just that to get justice for all. Absolute heroes!

    Amazing!

    Such a powerful movie that really demonstrates the advocacy of the ACLU. It's well done, interesting, and super empowering. Definitely worth a watch.

    So inspiring

    I already knew the work at the ACLU was important but this really confirmed that for me. Not only seeing the behind the scenes of all these major court cases but getting to see who it affects and the lives that were changed was incredible!
