To celebrate IDFA 2020 and this year’s amazing program, we’ve put together a list of our 10 favourite documentaries due for release next year in 2021.
Amongst Sundance London’s brilliant short film selection, our non-fiction eye was caught by two in particular: “Beyond the North Winds: A Post Nuclear Reverie” and “Junior Bangers”.
‘2040’ is best described as an optimist’s guide to the future, starring director, narrator and presenter Damon Gameau as the science teacher every child dreams of, one that makes it fun! The result is a 90-minute blend of educational material and uplifting “fact-based dreaming”, in contrast with pretty much any other climate change documentary there is.
One kilometre from the scintillating skyscrapers of Cartagena, Colombia, lies the island of Tierra Bomba. Fishermen’s lean-tos line the edge of the beautiful sea on which they rely, but all is not well on the island.
Will Harris is a fourth generation cattle farmer from Bluffton, Georgia. Back in 1946, his father began using a miraculous new product on his pasture: ammonium nitrate fertiliser. By 1995, the pasture was failing, the soil was dry and the once busy Bluffton was a rust belt town that had all but disappeared.
At the ripe old age of 97 (95 in the film), Diana is still a force to be reckoned with. Be it on a brisk walk in the hills of Michoacan or speaking from the podium of a trendy LA food conference, her rock star charisma commands respect and interest in equal measure.
In honour of International Women’s Day, we’re featuring an episode of the brilliant Visible Farmer film project in our Free of the Week series! Melissa is a small holds market-gardener implementing techniques and processes that regenerate her land, ensure a strong bond with her local community and completely cut out the need for a supply chain.

For our second edition of ‘Free of the Week’ we travel to the highlands of Northern Ethiopia to discover the uniquely symbiotic relationship between religion and the natural world. Watch it now.
‘Honeyland’ won big at Sundance this year and is regarded as one of the best documentaries of 2019. The film has been especially praised for its cinematography. We met with cinematographer Samir Ljuma to find out how they did it.
The Kogi are the last surviving civilisation from the world of the Inca and Aztec. Their cities lie untouched, deep in the jungle of the world’s highest coastal mountains, an area nicknamed “hell” by local Colombian authorities and cocaine-farmers alike. They’re now communicating with the civilised world to deliver a dire ecological warning.
