The Sundance Film Festival has announced two non-fiction films will be added to the Premieres section of this year's line-up.
Bao Nguyen's The Stringer follows a two-year investigation that uncovers a scandal behind the making of one of the most-recognised photographs of the 20th century.
Andrew Jarecki's The Alabama Solution sees incarcerated men defy the odds to expose a cover-up in one of America’s deadliest prison systems.
Both directors have been at the festival before - Jarecki brought Capturing The Friedmans (2003), Just A Clown (2004), and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015), while Nguyen premiered Be Water (2020) and The Greatest Night in Pop (2024).
Director of programming Kim Yutani said: “Adding these two nonfiction features to our robust slate of documentary offerings at the festival, both told by filmmakers who have been a part of our Sundance community for many years, completes our programming with compelling explorations around justice and truth-telling.”
The festival runs from January 23 to February 2.
