BATTLEGROUND – World Premiere – Documentary Competition (Sales: Cinetic) Directed by: Cynthia Lowen Produced by: Rebecca Stern and Cynthia Lowen Executive Produced by: Jeff Sobrato, Dexter Braff, Nicole Shipley, Ryan Harrington, and Ruth Ann Harnisch Synopsis: In the 50 years since Roe was passed, constitutional protections for abortion have never been so endangered – or the anti-abortion movement so emboldened. How have we arrived here? ‘Battleground’ follows three women who lead formidable anti-abortion organizations in their single-minded quest to overturn Roe v. Wade, as they face down forces equally determined to safeguard women’s access to safe and legal abortions. Who are anti-abortion people? What are they driven by, what do they believe, how do they operate and what are their goals? ‘Battleground’ gets inside the anti-abortion movement as never seen before to answer these questions, with many surprises: they are women, young people, even Democrats. With close access, the film shows how the anti-choice movement is strategizing and organizing, and their determination to overturn Roe at any cost. As their power and influence propels the Supreme Court sharply right, and states race to enact unconstitutional abortion bans, the film also depicts those on the front lines of the fierce fight to maintain access. It is widely expected that the Supreme Court will overtum or significantly dismantle Roe in June, 2022 with the decision on Dobbs vs. Mississippi. Should Roe be overturned, 26 states stand poised to ban abortion. ‘Battleground’ is required viewing for anyone with a stake in the future of abortion in America. ENDANGERED – World Premiere – Spotlight Documentary Category (HBO)   Directed by: Heidi Ewing, Rachel Grady Executive Producers: Ronan Farrow, Heidi Ewing, Rachel Grady   Synopsis: Patricia Campos is a reporter for the Folha de Sao Paulo outlet in Brazil. We see her arriving at a massive campaign rally, where thousands of people yell President Jair Bolsonaro’s name, call reporters “criminals” and vow to “destroy the mainstream media”. Stateside, Oliver Laughland, a British reporter for The Guardian, endures similar vitriol from far right American voters as he covers local politics and Trump rallies. In Mexico City, photographer Sashenka Gutierrez covers the growing wave of femicides in her country, as she carves out a profession in one of the most dangerous countries to be a journalist at – while in Miami, photo-journalist Carl Juste profiles a Black Lives Matter protest before it is thwarted by violent reprisals from police. These four intertwining stories make up a sobering exploration of reporters on the front lines against unrelenting campaigns of lies, misinformation and intimidation tactics.   Executive Produced by Ronan Farrow and directed by Tribeca Alums Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp, I’ll Carry You With Me), Endangered is a deeply important & riveting verite documentary – a troubling look at the current state of press freedom on a global scale. It is a “five alarm fire” documentary in its brazen topicality – and one that purposefully aims to shake viewers off their complacency.–Jose Rodriguez MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH MARRIAGE  WORLD PREMIERE  INTERNATIONAL NARRATIVE COMPETITION Director & Screenwriter: Signe Baumane Cast: Dagmara Domicnik (“Succession,” “We Are The City”), Matthew Modine (“Stranger Things”), Emma Kenney (“Shameless,” “The Conners”), Cameron Monagha (“Shameless”) and Stephen Lang (Avatar 1-4) Producers: Roberts Vinovskis, Sturgis Warner, Signe Baumane, Raoul Nadalet Executive Producers: Matthew Modine, Adam Rackoff, John Jencks Synopsis: From an early age, songs and fairytales convinced Zelma that Love would solve all her problems as long as she abided by societal expectations of how a girl should act. But as she grew older something didn’t seem right with the concept of love: the more she tried to conform, the more her body resisted. A story about the acceptance of the inner female rebellion.
