Reception

John Mangan of The Age wrote "the documentary is all the more powerful for his understated approach."[4] Barbara Hooks, also of The Age, says "'Breaking Through is a powerful, unremitting film. As documentary, it is distinguished by the candor of its content and the creativity of its delivery. And as drama it is involving, moving and ultimately life affirming."[5]
