KIKUYU LAND is a powerful example of a doc that followed where the story led. What begins as an investigation of colonialist land disputes quickly morphs into a journalistic exploration of labor exploitation, political corruption, and rampant sexual abuse going back at least 60 years. #Sundance2026
Full of red flags and discomfort, SAUNA SICKNESS teases something much more than it actually delivers. A tense and emotionally fraught set-up inevitably leads to frustration and insufferability. This is one short where expansion to feature length might improve the story.
