Winner of Berlinale’s Golden Bear (Best Film) Award, On the Adamant invites viewers aboard the Adamant, an art therapy centre afloat on the Seine, while the intimate Because We Have Each Other, from Australian director Sari Brathwaite, follows a neurodiverse family on the working-class fringe. If this year’s blockbuster hit Oppenheimer piqued your nuclear interests, Steve James' (Hoop Dreams) timely doc A Compassionate Spy tells the incredible story of Manhattan Project scientist Ted Hall, who shared classified nuclear secrets with Russia. And, for US-politics-heads, A Storm Foretold is the jaw-dropping portrait of Donald Trump’s former adviser, the nefarious and charismatic Roger Stone.
