Why watch this film?
The documentary anthology 'Untold' brings together some of the most shocking and controversial stories from the world of sports, usually focusing on individual athletes or controversial legal cases. 'UNTOLD: The Rise and Fall of AND1' is unusual in this regard, as the title suggests, it is about the birth, growth and decline of the homonymous brand of sports clothing, accessories and shoes. The documentary stands out for its focus on streetball (a freer and more expressive variation of street basketball), in addition to including testimonies from its founders and legends of the sport, such as The Professor, Hot Sauce, Skip 2 My Lou, Main Event and Shane "The Dribble Machine" Woney. Unmissable for basketball fans.

Plot summary
Born out of the playgrounds of New York City, the "AND1 Mixtape Tour" took streetball to the masses, challenging convention and picking up a team of basketball misfits along the way. 'The Rise and Fall of AND1' traces the journey of how three young friends with a dream of bringing greater acclaim to the game they loved, connected with the underground artform of streetball, and ended up flipping the billion-dollar basketball industry on its head.

Documentary
The Falling Sky
Documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and their struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
Edita
Edita - Receiving a special mention from the jury at the FICIQQ, Chile, in 2022, this biographical documentary delves into the life of a rebel, feminist and single mother, whose story had been hidden by both her family and official history. It tells the intriguing story of Edita, a Trotskyist woman, Bauhaus student and persecuted by Nazism, in the context of the military dictatorship in Chile during the 1980s.
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
