The Death Tour

The Death Tour follows wrestling hopefuls across remote Indigenous communities in Canada’s far North on ‘the most gruelling tour in indie wrestling’.

Each winter, when the lakes freeze over, a motley gang of professional wrestlers leaves Winnipeg on a one-of-a-kind wrestling trip through remote Indigenous communities of Northern Manitoba. Wrestling insiders call it the ‘Death Tour’ – both for the physical hardships endured on the road and the emotional toll it takes on those who experience it. Famous for its star-studded alumni, the trip offers wrestlers a rare taste of fame and a chance to see if they have what it takes to make it in professional wrestling. This deeply personal documentary travels through Canada’s frozen North and into the wrestlers’ minds as they battle the elements, each other, and the impacts of a colonial past.

This test of strength and grit will show how far some are willing to go to live their dreams

Nukemailing

NUKEMAILING follows three employees of Ukrainian nuclear power plants, revealing the human toll of Russia’s occupation: fear, illegal interrogations, and torture.

For IAEA chief Rafael Grossi, the perilous conditions under which staff are forced to work remain a grave concern. The film also carries a personal resonance for director Pavlo Cherepin, who first learned the word evacuation as a child in the aftermath of the Chornobyl disaster.

By weaving present-day testimonies with echoes of the past, the documentary reflects on a country that has never forgotten the world’s worst civilian nuclear accident—nor the promise it made in 1994, when Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security guarantees.
