SEPARATED / dir. Errol Morris
+ Masterclass: Jacob Soboroff and Kathy Susca (5 PM, Kino Muranów)
The horrific consequences of Donald Trump’s immigration policies included the separation of families at the U.S.-Mexico border and the detention of children without their parents. These deeply personal tragedies are the focus of Errol Morris’s documentary Separated, based on NBC journalist Jacob Soboroff’s acclaimed report Separated: Inside an American Tragedy. Today, you can not only watch the film (5 PM at Kino Muranów) but also join a masterclass where Kathy Susca will interview Jacob Soboroff. The discussion will delve into how contemporary documentaries tackle the most challenging issues. This is an opportunity not to be missed!

COMRADES / dir. Joanna Janikowska
+ Q&A with the director and protagonists (8 PM, Kinoteka)
- Polish premiere of the film!
Ideals versus reality. How should the fight for social and labor rights look today? What defines modern socialism, and what should it be based on? What actions should be taken? Joanna Janikowska invites us to meet the “Comrades”, a group of young left-wing activists from Bologna. Their ambitions, challenges, and plans resonate with youth worldwide, including in Poland. Don’t miss the opportunity to meet the director and the film's protagonists at tonight’s official premiere—an absolute must-see of the festival!

BEING MIKOŁAJ / dir. Aurelia Frydrych-Zdanowska
+ Q&A with the film's protagonist and crew (5 PM, KINOMUZEUM)
Heartfelt, moving, and free from polemics—this is a story about identity, parenthood, and friendship. Mikołaj’s charisma and strength melt even the toughest barriers! This queer coming-of-age tale captivates with its honesty. It makes space for a father who says, "I want to understand your choices, but I don’t understand them yet,” and for Mikołaj, who, by sharing his feelings with loved ones, also shares them with the audience. Mikołaj is a remarkable individual, and this is your last chance to meet him at the festival. Don’t miss this opportunity!

ANTIDOTE / dir. James Jones
+ Discussion "Troll, Scammer, Killer, Spy" (6 PM, Kinoteka)
"Antidote" is a gripping documentary thriller where investigative journalists track Kremlin-backed spies. These journalists are the titular antidote to the venom of Russian intelligence services, which metaphorically and literally poison the institutions of the free world. After the screening, join the discussion “Troll, Scammer, Killer, Spy” moderated by Dr. Tomasz Sawczuk, Senior Policy Analyst at Polityka Insight. The panel will explore whether recent fires across Poland and cyberattacks on Polish state institutions are just the tip of the iceberg. Who can Russian and Belarusian intelligence services reach—and how far does their influence extend?

It all happens only today at the WATCH DOCS festival!
