Citizens At War: A Year In Ukraine

For the last year, the filmmakers of Kyiv’s most prestigious film production house have fanned out to the frontlines to record the fate of their nation. The result is this astonishing series which features exclusive and very personal interviews with the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and his wife, Olena. This documentary details the trauma and triumphs of the war-torn Ukraine and its people. CITIZENS AT WAR includes powerful interviews with men and women whose lives were turned upside down by the war, including a beauty queen turned deadly sniper, a Russian soldier terrified by unexpected resistance against his convoy en route to Kyiv, and the sole Ukrainian survivor of a mass execution committed by Russian soldiers in Bucha. The war in Ukraine has been waged for almost a full year, and CITIZENS AT WAR has been there to capture it all.

The 'A' Word: America's War On Women

June 24, 2022, America’s Supreme Court voted on a decision that would impact the futures of millions of people. In THE A-WORD, we meet those most vulnerable to America’s abortion bans, and the medics who risk committing felonies to save them. Shadowing multiple abortion clinics, we track patients forced to travel the length of the USA to get needed care. We meet abortion providers who are so terrified they tuck firearms into their scrubs. Through this, we explore the Christian nationalist movement behind it all. Abortion - a word so stigmatised that it has become impossible to say - has divided this nation. Two years on, the fight over the “A-Word” has become a battle for freedom, equality and healthcare itself.

Aging Well Suzuki Style

David Suzuki is 83. That’s three years beyond the life expectancy for the average Canadian male, so he’s ahead of the game. While he admits that he’s officially old, he’s also quick to point out that “aging is not a disease... it’s just a natural part of life". While everyone would love to live a long life, Suzuki is more interested in living a longer, healthier one - so he’s taking a journey to discover if he’s still alive because of the choices he’s made, or if he’s just been lucky to have inherited good genes. *David Suzuki won the 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award, Canadian Screen Awards

Framing Agnes

In 1958, a young trans woman named Agnes entered a study about sex disorders at UCLA to get the gender-affirming care she needed, by any means necessary. Her story was long considered to be exceptional until never-before-seen case files of other patients were found in 2017. Directed by Chase Joynt (NO ORDINARY MAN) and featuring an all-star cast of transgender artists and performers, FRAMING AGNES uses re-enactment and genre-blurring storytelling techniques to breathe new life into previously unknown people who redefined gender in the midcentury. Featuring Angelica Ross, Jen Richards, Zackary Drucker, Silas Howard, Max Wolf Valerio, and Stephen Ira.

The Jury: Death on the Staircase

In this first recreation of the thrilling THE JURY format, a jury of 12 ordinary citizens are presented with a mystifying death, and a defendant whose fate is now in their hands. Recreating a real case through the original court transcript, we get behind the scenes to explore the criminal process, and the human element involved in a jury of peers rendering a verdict.

Finally, we follow them to their verdict and decide ourselves if the work of a jury equates to the best version of justice being done. *Format Available Nominations: 2025 Rockie Awards: Best Reality Series
