“Compelling life story…”
Elizabeth Weitzman, NY Daily News
“The film offers intriguing glimpses of the gentle bargaining over rough stones in open-air markets, a sharp contrast to the country’s general climate of violence. Its observations of local culture and the mountainous landscape as green as the world’s most valuable gemstones in Colombia.”
Hollywood Reporter
“…there’s no denying that this film is not only eye-opening but captivating as well!”
Patrick Ricketts, Video Views
“I would have never picked this film off a shelf of movies at Blockbuster, and that’s a shame. I would of missed out on a totally new film experience to me. It was interesting, informative and well told. Never was there a dull moment and I came to admire Mr. Hayata. Emerald Cowboy has enough oomph to get you thru to the end with no problem. Totally enjoyable! Rent it or buy it!”
