DANGEROUS DOCS (SHORT FILMS)
Even in a cultural landscape dominated by semi-scripted "reality TV," sometimes the most insane adventures and outlandish characters are actually real. We present to you the wild and weird from the whole world over. This program of short films includes sex, drugs and violence, but with an artful and intellectual bent. There are brushes with international celebrity, beloved local legends, and closely guarded secrets, but each story proves that the bizarre lives of individuals can be fascinating no matter how well known they are, so long as they're true.
