  • LD Harrar, Executive Producer of World in the Balance, NOVA, PBS

    "…one of the best and most versatile documentary film producers in the country"

  • Austin Hoyt, Executive Producer, WGBH-TV/PBS

    "Sarah Holt is that rare combination of a thorough and thoughtful journalist, and an artist… I was immediately struck by her ability to tell a story with images and to blend narrative with fact as if it was always meant to be."

  • REVIEW by Peter Keough, The Boston Globe, September 23, 2021

    [In reference to The Cannabis Question]

    "Holt investigates what has been learned about cannabis’s potential risks and medicinal benefits and how its legalization in 30 states after 80 years of prohibition has resulted in confusion and haphazard regulation."

  • Jim Kim, Partners in Health

    "Sarah Holt has a particularly fine ability to see the whole piece, to uncover the compelling picture frame and to present a human story."

  • LD Harrar, Executive Producer of World in the Balance, NOVA, PBS

    "…one of the best and most versatile documentary film producers in the country"

  • Austin Hoyt, Executive Producer, WGBH-TV/PBS

    "[Sarah] has an exquisite visual eye as well as a special gift to frame a story intellectually without draining it of emotion."

  • Jim Kim, Partners in Health

    "[Sarah] knew what she needed to make a great film, and she got it, time after time, sometimes overcoming huge obstacles."
