Why watch this film?
Repeating the formula of true crime documentaries that has worked so well for Netflix, here we learn the unbelievable life story of Donald Stellwag, a marginal who was wrongly convicted and only exonerated and released almost a decade later. Years later, however, an important robbery leads back to him. Big Mäck: Gangsters and Gold is a German documentary that recounts the facts and asks if Stellwag is truly innocent in the second case, which will certainly appeal to fans of true crime.

Apollo 13: Survival
The classic Ron Howard drama with Tom Hanks, Apollo 13, tells a true story about a failed space mission in such a thrilling way that it begs the question of what was real and what was artistic license. The documentary Apollo 13: Survival reveals recordings that suggest much of it happened just as portrayed. However, what stands out here is BAFTA-nominated director Peter Middleton’s (The Real Charlie Chaplin) mastery in taking archival material and not only weaving it into an exciting narrative but also making it chillingly realistic and urgent. It might even be the superior film on the subject.
