Critical reception POV, "Roads to Fire admittedly proves mentally and emotionally exhausting as it shares the traumatic experiences of its key figures. However, these are important and compelling stories that put human faces on all sides of a global crisis."
Film Threat, "Watching Roads of Fire brings the global migration crisis home to ground level for those with the fortitude to internalize Lezra’s documentary and live with seeing the human faces of the problem."
Film Focus Online, "Roads of Fire has done what great documentaries should: it opens our eyes and refuses to let us look away. We know the immigration system is broken, and at a time when frustrations are high and people are blaming one another, this documentary film helps audiences find their humanity and empathy."
