“...an inspirational true story of what can happen when real people, given the proper guidance, set out to solve real problems.”
- Grand Magazine
"It’s a beautiful and important film, one that is pivotal to us living better lives. It tells what could easily be a preachy, depressing, angst ridden, hot mess of a story into one of true hope, encouragement, inspiration and action. It does so with facts, heart, humor and the same innovation that our scientists are using to solve these big world problems."

"Part of the fun of SlingShot is that it's a porthole into the life of a genius...SlingShot offers a hopeful glimpse of a rare kind of capitalist that uses his powers for good."
