From the Independent Weekly:
"Vlachos designed the film, in part, as a visual response to an e-mail from her brother
[who lists] the reasons he likes to eat meat...
Vlachos, armed with a hand-held camera and a mind full of questions, takes to streets,
dog parks and pig sanctuaries, from Seattle to North Carolina to Greece.
She questions passersby, friends and family about the rights of animals and the role
of meat in their daily lives.
It's in these conversations between family and friends that the film finds its real voice.
Here, Vlachos is less of a streetwise interviewer and more of a patient philosopher."

From Go Triad!:
"For a documentary that condemns cruel practices of industrial poultry,
beef and pork farming, Vlachos' film is rather omnivore-friendly.
Although nearly half of the people she interviews enjoy eating meat,
Vlachos never comes off as being pushy or confrontational during their discussions.”

From the University of Pittsburgh, Global Studies:
"Seeing Through the Fence was screened as part of our Sustainable Development film series,
which explores issues concerning sustainable energy and agriculture.
The film not only addresses the cruelty inherent in modern factory farms, but also how Americans
can no longer sustainably afford to eat as they do today.
The film provoked lively conversations and received great feedback from attending students.
I highly recommend this film to other universities."
