The Librarians

Librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy and our First Amendment Rights. As they well know, controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of a large-scale coordinated extremist movement fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

Baby Doe

In 1993, in a deeply religious, working-class corner of rural Ohio, 22-year-old Gail Ritchey gave birth alone and left her newborn in the woods, later telling authorities the baby had been stillborn. The case went cold for decades until DNA evidence identified her as the mother, and in 2019 she was arrested and charged with murder in what investigators called the Geauga's Child case. By then, Ritchey was living an ordinary, quietly devout life as a wife, mother of three, and grandmother. Director Jessica Earnshaw, who spent years embedded with Ritchey and her family, builds a documentary that plays like a true-crime procedural but resists easy verdicts. Interviews with Ritchey's husband Mark, her children, her church community, law enforcement, and a forensic psychologist who explains the phenomenon of pregnancy denial complicate the question of guilt and culpability, without excusing the outcome. Baby Doe world-premiered at SXSW in March 2025 to strong reviews, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it head-spinning and absorbing, and went on to win the Global Health Competition at the Cleveland International Film Festival, earn a SXSW Grand Jury Award nomination, and win the Jury Award for Best Feature Documentary at the Cambria Film Festival. Sarah Paulson serves as an executive producer. Earnshaw, whose acclaimed debut Jacinta (2020) also examined a woman shaped by trauma and the justice system, again turns her camera on a subject society is quick to judge and slow to understand.

K2: Siren of the Himalayas

Four world-class alpinists including National Geographic's Explorer of the Year Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner team up in a dangerous foray of high altitude mountaineering in the breathtaking documentary K2: Siren of the Himalayas. The film follows an attempt to reach the summit of the world's most challenging peak on the 100-year anniversary of the Duke of Abruzzi's landmark K2 expedition. K2 also explores the history and geography of the legendary Karakoram Mountain Range, while contemplating the risks, rewards and personal nature of exploration in an age when there are few blank spots left on the map. The second highest peak on Earth at 8,611 meters, K2 is also one of the most dangerous mountains to climb: for every four people who have reached the summit, one person has died trying. As Ernest Hardy wrote in The Village Voice, "K2 offers great beauty while capturing something of what pulls the adventurous to try to reach the world's second highest peak."

As Peter struggles to keep up, Marc-André's climbs grow bigger and more daring. Elite climbers are amazed by his accomplishments, while others worry that he is risking too much. Then, Marc-André embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.
