Relative

Tracey Arcabasso Smith

This beautifully nuanced, deeply personal documentary journeys across four generations of an Italian-American family as they uncover their shared experiences around sexual trauma, mostly for the first time, with unapologetic candor. Stirring home movies shot by the filmmaker's grandmother cinematically create a backdrop that weaves individual stories together across the shifting landscape of time. The intimate and poetic exploration reveals enduring connections and an honest window into what it looks and feels like to break the silence on trauma. Each conversation gives way to the intricacy of human experience. This is not just a story of one family but one of countless stories all over the world that are sitting in silence. Relative is an artful and empowering story about seeking truth, the complexity of trauma, and the power of voice in effecting lasting change.

Risk

Laura Poitras

How much of your own life are you willing to risk? Laura Poitras, Academy Award winning director of Citizenfour, returns with her most personal and intimate film to date. Filmed over six years, Risk is a complex and volatile character study that collides with a high stakes election year and its controversial aftermath. Cornered in a tiny building for half a decade, Julian Assange is undeterred even as the legal jeopardy he faces threatens to undermine the organization he leads and fracture the movement he inspired. Capturing this story with unprecedented access, Poitras finds herself caught between the motives and contradictions of Assange and his inner circle. In a new world order where a single keystroke can alter history, Risk is a portrait of power, betrayal, truth, and sacrifice. Executive Produced by Sam Esmail, creator of Mr. Robot.


The Law In These Parts

Ra'anan Alexandrowicz

Winner of the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and executive produced by investigative filmmaker and journalist Laura Poitras, “The Law In These Parts” is a gripping and revelatory investigation into the military legal system put in place by Israel over four decades ago to govern the occupied Palestinian territories – the repercussions of which are felt to this day by both sides. In his rave review for the LA Times, Kenneth Turan called it "Fascinating. A Brilliantly complex film. The second superb Israeli documentary (after 'The Gatekeepers') to deal fearlessly with an aspect of that country's legal and political system."
