Sunny Side Of The Doc’s Pitch Awards Go To ‘Inside Gaza,’ ‘The Brain Garden,’ ‘Our Sister Angela: Black Power In The GDR’ & More


Best Documentary Pitches have been announced in multiple categories at Sunny Side of the Doc, the world's biggest nonfiction film marketplace.

It tells a story little known outside the former East Germany – how Angela Davis, the American Black Power activist and Marxist thinker, became a sensation in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), a client state of the USSR. “ Inside Gaza tells the story of journalists reporting under rocket fire and propaganda from all sides, witnessing human distress while trying to ensure their own survival as well as that of their relatives and friends.” It’s centered around Wood, a veteran documentary filmmaker from Australia who suffered a traumatic brain injury in an accident 18 months ago, and the healing modalities he discovered through ecotherapy.
