"I've been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film and Television,"

these home movies shot on her husband's phone, originally for family consumption have since been turned into a documentary premiering in British cinemas this December. Prime Minister, the movie, is the latest step in Ardern's campaign for politicians to be allowed to reclaim their humanity, which broadly means the public accepting that they are grappling with the same private pressures as the rest of us (and no doubt similarly making a hash of it at times).

We hope this film can be broadcast out to the Vietnamese American community, many of whom, just like our family, lost everything,

Over Thanksgiving, Disney+ will serve up a delicious treat for Beatles fans: a newly restored and remastered version of The Beatles Anthology documentary film will be released with the addition of a new ninth episode. Marking its streaming debut, the film will debut on Disney+ over three nights: episode 1-3 will launch on November 26th, followed by episodes 4-6 on the 27th, and episodes 7-9 on the 28th.

Jeremy Renner is denying director Yi Zhou's claims that they reached a resolution after she made multiple allegations against him. Earlier this month, Zhou, 37, who collaborated on a documentary earlier this year with Renner, 54, accused the actor of sending her a string of unsolicited pornographic images of himself in June. She alleged that when she confronted Renner about this, he threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on her. Renner later denied those allegations,

which is why, after she took her own life at the height of the COVID lockdowns in 2021, her grieving family turned to the master documentarian to finish her last film. It was an impossible task since, as Berliner put it, "I could never duplicate the mystery and beauty that Benita always brought to her work." So instead of completing a final act, Berliner chose to craft a collaboration, a magical cinematic conversation of sorts, between himself and his mentee.

Despite the joy Zimri brings Savoy, the fact that Zimri will never meet his grandfather compounds his grief, as does Zimri arriving into this world with serious health complications. So Savoy decided to capture this moment in time in a short documentary, also titled Big Bryce Son. Savoy hosts the documentary's Oakland premiere on Friday, Nov. 14, at Rhythm Section Art Lounge for two screenings at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.

As an Israeli Jew fluent in Hebrew, Arabic and English, Shuster Eliassi could nimbly weave between different audiences, and what started as short comedic videos on social media soon became an invitation from Harvard to develop a full-on stand-up routine skewering the idea of coexistence as it's often used in the Israeli-Palestinian context. The show would riff on her upbringing in one of the only joint Israeli-Palestinian communities in the country, threading a fine needle with self-deprecating humor and an activist's edge.

Sugarcane was directed by Julian Brave Noisecat and Emily Kassie and takes a hard look at the injustice and abuse inside the Canadian Indian residential school system. It begins with the discovery of unmarked graves, at the school run by the Catholic Church of Canada and follows the abuse, and forced separation of children, shining a light on a community's heartbreak, and beauty in the face of uncovered facts.

In 1988, the United States entered into its worst drought since the Dust Bowl. Crops withered in fields nationwide, part of an estimated $60bn in damage ($160bn in 2025). Dust storms swept the midwest and northern Great Plains. Cities instituted water restrictions. That summer, unrelentingly hot temperatures killed between 5,000 and 10,000 people, and Yellowstone national park suffered the worst wildfire in its history.

"One Golden Summer" takes us back to simpler times, when Chicago collectively rejoiced around the winning Little League Jackie Robinson West (JRW) team from the South Side of Chicago, the first all-Black team to rally through the end-of-summer tournament. Like any kid, the only narrative I cared about at that time was the batter's count and runs scored. Despite its overall positive light, we see the shadows more clearly in this production.

But it wasn't a given Bowers would compose the score for Proudfoot's feature debut, " The Eyes of Ghana." "Because it's a lot of work, right? It's like, 'OK, it's six months of my life,' Proudfoot told IndieWire during an interview at the 2025 Middleburg Film Festival. "When you decide, 'OK, this project feels like it's part of my body of work,' it's a big decision, one that I take seriously.

Hot off a sold-out premieres in the San Rafael, Ojai and Los Angeles, we're thrilled to bring The Man Who Saves the World? to SF! Are you tired of traditional feature documentaries? Executive produced by comedy legends Danny McBride and Peter Farrelly, acclaimed director Gabe Polsky captures the extraordinary journey of Patrick McCollum - a fearless, free-spirited seeker traveling through the Amazon on a mission to inspire unity and peace.

The Invisible Mammal tells the captivating story of a dedicated team of women scientists as they strive to protect North America's bats against a deadly disease rapidly spreading across the continent. The film, directed by San Francisco filmmaker Kristin Tièche and produced by Matthew Podolsky (Sea of Shadows) follows a team of women bat biologists into underground habitats as they work to save a rapidly disappearing species: the little brown bat.

During fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Nouhad was forced to flee her home in southern Lebanon. While others speak of loss and destruction, the 81-year-old speaks of her beloved olive grove her life's work and a symbol of resilience amid the chaos. But when the Israeli military rains down white phosphorus, burning her beloved trees, she must confront the unbearable truth of losing not just her land, but a part of herself.

If you're programming your own little horror film festival in the run-up to Halloween, and Tobe Hooper's stone-cold classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974 is part of the lineup, then this would make a handy follow-up for a night's viewing. It's not a making-of movie, although there are snippets of insight into the production's process; nor is it a meta-commentary at the rather sprawling level of Room 237, the delirious doc about The Shining.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - There are more than 5,600 players competing in NCAA Division 1 men's basketball. To play at this level, you need a rare combination of size, skill and intelligence. West Brighton resident Liam Murphy certainly qualifies. Standing 6 foot, 7 inches, Murphy possesses elite height and a lethal touch from long range. Now in his final year of eligibility, he has signed with Purdue University - ranked as the nation's top team in the preseason.

This film shows the reality of Israeli occupation and oppression against Palestinians - but that truth apparently didn't fit the narrative that big U.S. streamers wanted to promote. We talked to MUBI for months, and initially thought our film had found its home, but in the end we learned that they were accepting a huge investment from Sequoia Capital.

On Oct. 13, Swift announced her long-awaited Eras Tour documentary, The End of an Era, a six-part series that promises an "intimate look" at the experience of carrying out the historic tour. Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, and Florence Welch are a few of the familiar faces you'll spot along the way. You can also count on plenty of delightful behind-the-scenes moments - including, as seen in a trailer, a peek at Swift's post-show routine of drawing a bath, ordering room service, and watching "tons of TV" before she can fall asleep.

We are in a time of distress. We are in a time of total degradation of democracy. Orwell wrote that the degradation of language is the condition for the degradation.
