We are so excited to present our official Doc Stories 2026 closing night documentary TUTU, with Director (and Harlem icon!) Sam Pollard joining us in person. A man whose passion for justice is matched only by his sense of humor, we can’t wait to share the life of Desmond Tutu with you all. 😊

Ava DuVernay ➕ 1️⃣4️⃣th 🟰Opening Night of Doc Stories 2026

We can’t believe it’s been ten years since we hosted her at our presentation of 13th at Doc Stories 2016! We’ll be opening the festival with not one but TWO screenings of 14th with Ava herself in attendance ❗❗

“If 13th asks who gets caged, then 14th asks who gets counted.” - Director Ava DuVernay. 14th marks her return to documentary film making with a powerful companion piece examining the 14th Amendment and its intersections with the American carceral system. 

Tickets are on sale NOW at the link in bio.
