Reviewing A Closer Walk Jack Garner, Chief Film Critic of the Gannett News Service, wrote: This is an artful motion picture and a beautifully told story of human suffering that inspires hope and action. This film rates a 10', a must-see film if ever there was one. Also reviewing A Closer Walk, Robert Butler of the Kansas City Star wrote: This is one of the most artful, heartrending and inspirational documentaries I have ever seen. It has the potential to actually change lives Its real power comes from the way the filmmaker understands human psychology. Directed, written, and produced by Oscar nominee Robert Bilheimer, narrated by Glenn Close and Will Smith, A Closer Walk explores the intricate relationship between health, dignity, and human rights, and shows how the harsh realities of AIDS in the world are an expression of the way the world is. The film features interviews with prominent individuals from all walks of life including The Dalai Lama, Kofi Annan, and Bono; stories, portraits, and vignettes of children, women, and men living with AIDS on four continents; and breathtaking cinematography by Richard D. Young that celebrates human dignity, even as it bears witness to immense human suffering.
