Documentary Feature: An International Affair

The nominees are:

Bobi Wine: The People’s President

The Eternal Memory

Four Daughters

To Kill a Tiger

20 Days in Mariupol

The Documentary Feature category often has strong international representation — 42% of the nominees from the last 10 Oscars have been foreign language docs. But this year is unique in that the entire cohort are all international. It’s even more surprising that some of these films made it when domestic favorites like American Symphony and Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie didn’t make the cut. (American Symphony won at the PGAs and Still was the pick of the National Board of Review.)

To Kill a Tiger is one of the few nominated films this year I haven’t seen, so I can’t offer any commentary on it, other than it was a hit at TIFF in 2022. The remaining nominees all feature political oppression as a significant theme, though they tackle it in vastly different ways.

Uganda’s Bobi Wine: The People’s President recounts the inspiring story of the musician turned opposition politician as he stands up against his nation’s de facto dictator. Chile’s The Eternal Memory is a moving story about the impact of Alzheimer’s disease on a couple, one of whom is determined to preserve his legacy of holding the Pinochet regime to account.

The overwhelming favorite to win is Ukraine’s 20 Days in Mariupol, one of the year’s most powerful films. While not particularly groundbreaking as a documentary, the work is harrowing beyond measure. Viewers can feel some distance when observing fictional accounts of the atrocities of war, but it’s hard to escape the evil when you know it is reality. That’s what 20 Days does so well. It’s not an easy watch, but it’s an important one.

Contrastingly, Tunisia’s Four Daughters takes a unique approach to storytelling and has the potential to be a monument in the documentary film canon. The film was the darling of Cannes where it won three awards and was nominated for the Palme d’Or. But its account of two teenage girls radicalized by ISIS may not be as timely for American viewers as the ongoing atrocities in Ukraine.

After last year’s win for Navalny, this will be the second straight year the winning documentary has tackled Putin’s regime.

Who will win: 20 Days in Mariupol

But look out for: Four Daughters

Who I’d vote for: 20 Days in Mariupol

If I could add one more: Still: A Michael J .Fox Movie

Priyanka Chopra boards Oscar-nominated documentary To Kill A Tiger as executive producer

This news comes after Netflix inked a deal for the documentary to be launched globally on the streaming platform.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has joined the Academy Award-nominated documentary feature To Kill A Tiger, as one of the executive producers. She joins a long list of producers, including Dev Patel, and Mindy Kaling, among others. This news comes after Netflix inked a deal for the documentary to be launched globally on the streaming platform.

As per Deadline, an official statement read, “Priyanka has stood as an unwavering advocate for the film since debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022, captivated by its poignant narrative depicting a father’s valiant struggle within the judicial system to secure justice for his daughter.”

Among the several executive producers include Dr. Atul Gawande, the surgeon and bestselling author, Canadian poet Rupi Kaur, writer-producer Andy Cohen, Deepa Mehta, Anita Lee, Andrew Dragoumis, Shivani Rawat, Mona Sinha, Mala Gaonkar, Regina Scully, Anita Bhatia, Niraj Bhatia, and others.

Co-produced by Notice Pictures Inc. and the National Film Board of Canada, To Kill A Tiger is a story about Ranjit, a farmer in Jharkhand, India, who takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the survivor of sexual assault. In India, where rape is reported every 20 minutes and conviction rates are less than 30 percent, Ranjit’s decision to support his daughter is virtually unheard of, and his journey is unprecedented.

Directed by Nisha Pahuja, the documentary feature has won several awards including Best Documentary at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Amplify Voices Award at Toronto International Film Festival, and Best Feature Documentary at the Canadian Screen Awards. Nisha also won 2023 Excellence in Documentary Award from the Directors Guild of Canada.

Do you think dick had to retire any moves once he became Nightwing because now that he has the strength and weight of an adult they’re just deadly to his opponents now no matter how much he tries to modify them?

When he was 10 and launching himself at a man’s throat it was one thing, now it’s another entirely.
