With just a week left, VIFF is creating a must-see list we can barely
keep up with. If you’re looking for a long weekend flick, here are three
documentaries worth sitting down for:
Shadows
of Liberty (Friday, October 5, 2:15 p.m.) As newspaper wiretapping
dominated the headlines in 2012, the scrutiny on how big business
influences media is increasing. Canadian director Jean-Philippe Tremblay
explores how many US journalists fall victim to their own good work.
This
Ain’t California (Saturday, October 6, 10:30 a.m.) Skateboarding
subculture in 1980s East Germany – two topics that are interesting.
The
Ambassador (Sunday, October 7, 1:30 p.m.): Danish filmmaker Mads
Brugger pays to become the Liberian ambassador to the Central Africa
Republic. With diamond mines, mercenaries and corrupt goverment comes
risk and uncomfortable truths.
