They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead
In cinema and entertainment, there are few legends like Orson Welles, the director of classics such as 'Citizen Kane' and 'Othello', among many others. He, however, had a full life of controversy and great achievements - in a story that must be known by cinephiles and newcomers alike. This documentary also comes at the perfect timing: it is released along with 'The Other Side of the Wind', Welles’ unfinished film finally released by Netflix. This documentary helps to answer, or at least analyze, the autobiographical aspects in Welles’ last great work.
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
From director Morgan Neville ("20 Feet from Stardom," Oscar-winning documentary), "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" is one of the most successful biographical documentaries of all time with audiences and critics alike, nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. The documentary explores the life and career of Fred Rogers, a television pioneer who, through his long-running children's program, has inspired generations of children since 1960 with a message of compassion. It is certainly a necessary film for our times.
Keith Richards: Under the Influence
From Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville, 'Keith Richards: Under the Influence' provides an intimate look at the Rolling Stones musician, considered one of the most influential rock guitarists of all time. The documentary has a somewhat superficial focus and is not particularly revealing or visually stunning. However, fans of the Rolling Stones, of Richards himself, and of rock in general will find an enriching journey into the musical influences of the icon, who is also an extremely charismatic interviewee with more than fascinating stories to tell, making the 80 minutes of footage fly by like water.

The Woman of Stars and Mountains
Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was found by a human rights organization inside a Kansas psychiatric hospital, where she had been involuntarily confined, for 12 years, despite the fact that the hospital authorities were never able to determine who was this woman, where did she come from, or what language she spoke. After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities. A moving portrait of the lives of these two Tarahumara women, questioning the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women in Mexico and the United States face.
