A new documentary chronicles the legal troubles of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who took the titular trust fall into the arms of the American public when he published information governments didn't want us to know. Certain activists have risen to his defense, including most libertarians, but "Free Assange" has hardly been a mass rallying cry. The Trust Fall, though typical in its structure (mostly talking heads, some bespoke animation) and proudly on its subject's side, might convince even doubters that Assange's actions—accepting classified documents from a source, then publishing them—a...

In the first episode of Netflix's latest hit documentary series, Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, an inmate with newfound autonomy says, "There's no way we can let criminals govern themselves." But for six weeks, 46 inmates at Arkansas' Pulaski County detention center did just that. No longer confined to their cells for 23 hours a day, they were free to roam the cellblock with no guards in sight, all day long. And upon good behavior, they were given even more privileges, such as free phone calls and increased visitation rights with family and friends. By cultivating a community-driven atmosphere, ...

Tehachapi walks us through a series of projects organised by JR, an artist whose work combines photography, collage and video. With its behind-the-scenes approach, the documentary relates how the austere prison courtyard becomes an ephemeral canvas for the inmates. JR’s team collaborated with inmates and guards to use its signature technique of flyposting to create a giant portrait of 40 men. The artis...

Disney+ have recently re-released a rarely-seen 1970 documentary film titled 'Let It Be', chronicling The Beatles' rehearsals and recordings in January 1969, for what would ultimately become their twelfth and final studio album. The original documentary has been somewhat of a holy grail for Beatles fans, shrouded in mystery due its unavailability for purchase or streaming. This is partly because the original master tapes mysteriously vanished from Apple Corps shortly after the film's completion. Now, the "lost film", shot on 16mm negative, has been meticulously restored and remastered into 4k....

Los Angeles (AFP) - When marine biologist Maxim Chakilev flings open the door of his ramshackle Siberian hut in the Oscar-nominated short documentary "Haulout" to find 100,000 honking and heaving walruses, the effect is breathtakingly cinematic. For almost two minutes, the screen is crowded with jostling animals, their guttural snorts filling the soundtrack and putting the viewer right in the middle of an astonishing natural spectacle. The scene, the centerpiece of a 25-minute film on how climate change affects the natural world, illustrates how short documentaries have exploded as an art form...

New York (AFP) - HBO on Wednesday said that US director Spike Lee is re-editing the final episode of a documentary series on the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that featured interviews with conspiracy theorists.

Lee faced criticism for including the interviews...
