When Iranian judoka Leila travels to the World Championships aiming to make history, she’s ordered by her government to withdraw rather than risk facing an Israeli opponent. Caught between duty, fear, and personal conviction, Leila’s decision threatens her freedom, her family’s safety, and her bond with her coach. Co-directed by Iranian and Israeli filmmakers, and shot in stark black and white, Tatami examines the weight of resistance and the quiet courage of those who refuse to comply.

In 1960s France, Esther refuses to accept Roland’s medical fate, while he finds escape and identity through the music of Sylvie Vartan. Blending nostalgia, humor, and tenderness, Ken Scott paints a portrait of maternal devotion that is as infuriating as it is inspiring.

Told largely through Wiesel’s own words and eloquent voice, the documentary traces his journey from Holocaust survivor to Nobel Peace Prize-winning writer, teacher, and global conscience. With rare access to personal archives, original interviews, and hand-painted animation, the filmmaker reveals the private depths of a man known to the world as a witness to genocide and champion of human rights. This film delves beyond the public figure to reveal the man behind the words.
