'Les Indésirables,' 'Copa 71,' and More Among TIFF Documentary Lineup
The Big Picture It's almost time for yet another edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, and the event has revealed which documentaries will be screened in Canada when the event arrives later this fall. Projects that take a deep look at some of the problems that affect the world today, or allow a relatively unknown topic to step into the spotlight will reach the big screen at one of the biggest film festivals of the year.
Twenty-two titles from twelve different countries will be screened during the ten days the movie industry focuses on what happens in Toronto. The opening night presentation this year will be Copa 71, capturing the journey of a women's soccer team as they try to regain their prestige after their record of success in Mexico City has been almost completely wiped from history.
One of the highlights from the upcoming event will be the presentation of Les Indésirables, deeply personal and powerfully political portrait of a community struggling to find a way forward and a place to belong. After the sudden death of Parisian suburb's mayor, an idealistic young doctor is appointed to replace him. He and his deputy mayor intend to continue the policy of their predecessor, who dreamed of rehabilitating their working-class neighborhood.
