Soul Patrol is one of the most underrated and underseen films of 2026. That might seem like a strange thing to say about a documentary that premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and won its U.S. Documentary Directing Award...
Emily Robinson discusses Ugly Cry, the pressures of acting, perfectionism, fractured self-image, and “the horror of having a body.”
Explore five films to watch at CUFF.Docs 2026 in Calgary, from Turtle Island Rap and Dernsie to Matthew Rankin's opening-night documentary.
