"Kevin Coleman's documentary on the unspeakably tragic—but relatively unknown—U.S.–sponsored 1928 massacre of Colombian banana workers is moving and compelling. Most importantly, it sheds new light on one of the most shameful episodes in the economic and political history of the Americas, returning the incident to prominence and giving human faces to the victims." — Dan Koeppel, Writer for the New York Times Magazine and Popular Science, and author of Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World

"Stolen Photo orchestrates pieces of memories, whose meaning may be not fully known to those who carry them; however, once juxtaposed with other bits of information, alongside a picture of the massacre, the rebellious power of intergenerational transmission is reaffirmed to continue the struggle against racialized capitalism. The editing of the film amplifies this. While the photos lead the film, they are not held as a privileged source." — Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Author of Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism and director of The World Like a Jewel in the Hand

"Beautiful and powerful, this documentary offers a bottom-up view of Colombia's banana strike and massacre of 1928. The recovery of a single photograph depicting the strike's leaders opens a window into the history of the workers' struggle and organizing across banana plantations in Colombia and Central America." — Ángela Vergara, Professor of History at California State University, Los Angeles

"History is not forever written by the victors. A lost photograph rescued from an endangered archive allowed a group of American and Colombian historians and audiovisual creators to poke holes in the triumphant narrative of the winners." — Lina Britto, Associate Professor of History, Northwestern University

"Nearly a century since the infamous massacre of banana workers in Cienaga, Colombia, Stolen Photo brings the historical record to life by moving between multiple archives, subject positions, and representational forms to illuminate the human cost of capitalist accumulation." — Alexander L. Fattal, Author of Guerrilla Marketing: Counterinsurgency and Capitalism in Colombia
