DOCUMENTARIES TO WATCH

 

 

LIFE
ITSELF

 

Acclaimed director Steve James along with executive producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Zaillian present “Life itself”, a film that recounts the inspiring, entertaining and colorful life of world-renowned film critic Roger Ebert-a story that is by turns personal, funny, moving and transcendent. Based on his bestselling memoir of the same name, “Life itself”, explores Roger Ebert's legacy - his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times, his turn as screenwriter of “Beyond the valley of the dolls”, his on and off screen relationship with Gene Siskel, all culminating in his ascension as one of the most influential cultural voices in America.

THE DOG

 

A documentary portrait of the late John Wojtowicz, whose attempted robbery of a Brooklyn bank to finance his male lover's sex-reassignment surgery was the real-life inspiration for Dog Day Afternoon (1975).
