Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival and Hot Docs Canadian International Doc...umentary Festival.. "An intimate and patient portrait of a North Philadelphia family [...] I’ve rarely seen a movie about citizenship as quietly eloquent as QUEST." - The New York Times. "QUEST may be one of the most important films about the American experience ever filmed." - POV Magazine
