"Cowan isn't trying to inspire or manipulate. The film is decidedly free of crafted exposition or images designed to spur some exploitive emotion. This is the reality, a stark, unfiltered observation that shows a people who find and define in the darkest times what it means to be human when so much of what most take for granted is stripped away."
- Review of "MADAGASIKARA" by David Duprey, That Moment In
​
"The dump spreads out like an apocalyptic landscape at the beginning of Cam Cowan's uplifting and visually stunning "Opeka", a profile of Pedro Opeka, an Argentine priest who has dedicated his life to raising these people out of poverty."
-Review of "OPEKA" by Peter Keogh, The Boston Globe
