Quote:
"It Starts with a Whisper is filled with vision quests, pleas for understanding and justice, spiritual enlightenment, elegies for Indian tribes who did not survive the last few centuries, and even a cameo from Elijah Harper, appearing in a feathered headdress among the clouds. It is without a doubt the most serious Indian comedy ever made."
-- Paul Chaat Smith
