Why watch this film?
"Welcome to Chechnya" is a punch. A well-delivered gut punch. After all, this documentary by David France hit the mark in denouncing a criminal and urgent social situation in Chechnya, a state of Russia, where LGBTQIA+ communities are persecuted by forces of a fascist and authoritarian government. The director also uses strange special effects, but they work, to blur the identities of the persecuted and still show the emotion that accompanies them in their escapes, reunions with family and other such moments. A serious, necessary movie that shows how the world still needs to walk miles and miles to be truly just and equal.

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson
Violence against the trans community has become a frequent topic in movies due to the normalization of abuses around the world. This was the case with the excellent and experimental 'Tangerine' and the impactful 'Boys Don't Cry', for example. In 'The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson', a Netflix exclusive documentary, these pains and abuses against the trans community go beyond. Mixing an investigation plot with a good amount of archive material, the feature film shows how transgender women suffer from institutions and entities that, in theory, should protect and safeguard all people. But prejudice takes over and the response is channeled into activism and protests. In addition to the director Héctor Carré's sensitivity, it is worth highlighting the modernity of the plot and how the story told in the movie remains current and touching even so many years later.

I Am: Celine Dion
I Am: Celine Dion is a raw and real documentary, without filters, about the day-to-day life of the singer after whom the documentary is named. Perhaps cruel is also an adjective that fits the Prime Video exclusive film. After all, over its 100 minutes, the film talks not only about Dion's career (with some archive footage, others that completely deviate from the proposal), but mainly about the condition that affects her, Stiff Person Syndrome. We feel Celine's pain of not being able to sing, her daily limitations, and at the very end of the film, the most shocking part: a scene of the singer having one of her crises. It's very intense. Some say the documentary goes too far by showing this on screen. I, on the other hand, believe it humanizes her even more and helps everyone understand the complex life of the Canadian—who is just like anyone else.

Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger
Michael Powell and Emerich Pressburger might be, in very simple terms, the most influential and innovative filmmakers from England—and the world—whose work is least discussed today: it's quite likely you've only just heard of them. Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger is the perfect introduction to the work and legacy of the duo, collectively known as "The Archers," with the best possible guide: Martin Scorsese, one of their great advocates (and eventual personal friend of Michael Powell) and one of the filmmakers most inspired by their vision. As presenter, narrator, and producer, Scorsese provides a comprehensive tour of the filmmakers' trajectory, avoiding idealization but analyzing the impact and influence of the artists behind iconic and unique English films such as A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus, and The Red Shoes, misunderstood in their time but re-evaluated by later critics and filmmakers. Perhaps the only fault of the documentary is that it doesn't reach the inspired heights of its subjects. But that would be asking too much, as it achieves its valuable purpose: to inspire us to revisit the films of two true legends.

The Echo
In the remote village of El Echo that exists outside of time, the children care for the sheep and their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land, they learn to understand death, illness and love with each act, word and silence of their parents. A story about the echo of what clings to the soul, about the certainty of shelter provided by those around us, about rebellion and vertigo in the face of life. About growing up.

Federer: Twelve Final Days
Federer: Twelve Final Days is exactly what the title suggests: a documentary that follows the last 12 days of Roger Federer's career, one of the greatest tennis players in the history of the sport. In addition to interviews with the Swiss player, the feature film also incorporates elements of observational documentary, placing the viewer at the heart of the action with behind-the-scenes footage from Federer's final days in the sport.
