Nina Muehlemann from Disability Arts Online attended the premiere screening of ALL EYES ON US at the East End Film Festival. She had also attended the preview screening back in March and writes of the film,

The 30 minutes of the documentary are packed with emotion, beautiful images and interesting insights into the performers’ lives. The film perfectly captures the spirit of London 2012 from the point of view of four very different disabled people.

Although it tells personal stories, ‘All Eyes On Us’ never feels intrusive, and during both screenings, all people involved confirm that the filming was a supportive experience. Director Eelyn Lee, says that to her, crossing the boundary from the outside into the Olympic Park was an important moment, and that, although the film had a big production crew, she felt a very strong bond with everyone. It reflects in the way the documentary captures the bond between the Paralympic performers.
