Reviews

"Grasshopper Republic is a visually mesmerizing and thoughtfully crafted documentary that immerses viewers in the fascinating world of grasshopper harvesting in Uganda."
—— Tony Asankomah, GhMovieFreak

"Grasshopper Republic’s documenting style puts you right in the middle of the conflict. We plunge into a harsh and captivating reality while walking the roads, setting up the traps and hustling along McCabe’s study subjects, both human and insect."
—— Alejandro Turdo,  Hoy Sale Cine

"Unveiling breathtaking scenes that transport viewers to uncharted territories and seldom-seen events, the film’s allure lies in its ability to cater to niche interests while simultaneously mesmerizing audiences with its multifaceted allure."
—— Kristy Strouse, Film Inquiry

"A must-watch—especially once its sky explodes with dense, green clouds of harvested grasshoppers."
——Sam Machkovech, The Stranger

"Grasshopper Republic is one of the most incredible sights to behold."
——Alan Ng, Film Threat
