What to watch and how to watch it at Hot Docs 2023
Praying for Armageddon (Documentary). The United States of America is more in need of freedom from religion than it has cause to worry about freedom of religion, as powerful Evangelicals push to manifest the Apocalypse by infiltrating the political machinery of the US government. They exercise their substantial influence to hasten the biblical prophecy of Armageddon, which threatens not only the country’s democratic processes but also its foreign policy in the Middle East and world peace. Praying for Armageddon connects disparate dots and builds a persuasive argument for how Evangelical “charities” support settler colonialism in Israel, and how Donald Trump's installation of a permanent US military base and his relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem all factor into this plan.

At Hot Docs 2023, the Lac-Mégantic tragedy is explored from every angle imaginable
Lac-Mégantic – This Is Not an Accident (Documentary). The night of July 6, 2013, changed the small, picturesque town of Lac-Mégantic in Quebec’s Eastern Townships in unfathomable and horrifying ways. In a matter of minutes, 47 people were killed instantly, and more than 2,000 were displaced when an unattended train derailed nearby. What exactly transpired that night? Now a decade later, director Philippe Falardeau revisits the event, offering viewers a detailed post-mortem of the events leading to one of Canada’s worst rail disasters. Through interviews with the families of those who died, former and current town officials and the men held responsible, this riveting and carefully crafted four-part series details the shocking sequence of decisions that ultimately led to a spill of more than 7.7 million litres of crude oil, irreversibly changing the lives of everyone in town.
