Man on Wire (2008)
Man On Wire is a thrilling documentary about a death-defying stunt by high-wire performer Philippe Petit.
During the 70s, Petit decided to tightrope walk across some of the world’s most beloved and well-known monuments – starting with the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in 1973 before heading to Australia in 1973 and scaling the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Man On Wire tracks his efforts in 1974, when he tightrope-walked between New York’s World Trade Center’s Twin Towers - all with no safety net and a huge drop below him.
Styled like a slick heist film, director James Marsh brings the walk to life with never-before-seen footage as Petit prepared for the effort, reenactments, and interviews with those involved in pulling the stunt off, and the inside man who helped him gain access to the building.
The title is named after the police report from the NYPD after he was eventually arrested for the stunt.
76 Days (2020)
This Chinese-American documentary tracks the first 76 days of the breakout of COVID-19, with frontline workers in Wuhan, China, trying desperately to save those exposed and stop it from speaking around the world.
Set at a time when the scale of the pandemic is yet to be known, Wuhan is the “Ground Zero” of the virus, with many falling sick and the entire area being put on lockdown to prevent its spread.
Largely set within a Wuhan hospital, filmmakers Hao Wu and Weixi Chen join forces with a camera operator who remains anonymous as they capture the efforts of the hospital workers and the healthcare professionals trying to keep everything under control in an unflinching way.
The Janes (2022)
The Janes follows the story of the Jane Collective – an underground group of women who, at a time when abortion was illegal in Illinois, worked out of Chicago in order to help people get the help they needed.
Between the years of 1968 to 1973 – when Roe V Wade was passed and abortion finally became legal countrywide – women would reach out to “The Janes” who helped perform the abortions they needed.
This documentary speaks to the “Janes” involved in the movement, the importance of their work, and the continued need for abortion access at a time when the Supreme Court looked to overturn Roe V Wade.

12 Angry Men (1957)
Set in a New York courtroom, this black-and-white movie is an all-time classic, documenting 12 white men on a jury as they decide the fate of an 18-year-old boy accused of murdering his abusive father.
If they find the boy guilty, he is sentenced to death – so his life is literally in their hands. They are involved if there’s any reasonable doubt, they must declare him not guilty.
The 12 unnamed men debate their verdict in the deliberation room, where at first it seems like an open-and-shut case.
But one man, Juror 8 (Henry Fonda), holds out, believing he could be innocent and has reasonable doubt.
With the summer heat and personal commitments and feelings weighing on the other jurors, things grow increasingly intense with the men as they hash out the case themselves in order to come to a verdict.

Both became Hollywood icons within their own right, but their close bond wasn’t always so tight, with Carrie being open about her mental health and struggles with being in the limelight, which was guided by her mother from childhood.
Bright Lights, shot in 2014, sees the pair reflect on their relationship both with each other and with stardom, as Carrie prepares to return to the Star Wars franchise, years after becoming a cult legend as Princess Leia.
Through home videos, archival footage from throughout their lives, and interviews, the documentary aims to shed light on their unique bond that transcends all that was thrown at them throughout their lives.

O.J. Made In America (2016)
