From the streets of Egypt, where an all-female theatre troupe stands in defiance of patriarchal oppressions, to New York City’s Staten Island where Amazon workers strive to unionise, to the Republic of Benin, where citizens await the return of long stolen treasures, the IFI Documentary Festival returns to bring a bracing crop of long and short form non-fiction film to audiences.
Some highlights include, Us, Our Pets and the War, from director Anton Ptushkin, the story of the brave efforts of Ukrainian animal rescuers (followed by a Q&A with Ptushkin himself), Black Box Diaries follows Japanese journalist Shiori Itō's courageous investigation of her own sexual assault and No Other Land, a story of an unlikely alliance between a Palestinian Activist and Israeli journalist reporting on the occupied West Bank.
