Yeesh, are we ever having good luck with the films we pick at festivals! Hot Docs announced their award winners today, and the audience price went to Street Fight [my review]. While we didn’t rate it as highly as Murderball, it was terrific and a worthy winner.
One minor regret: the winner for best first documentary was The Devil’s Miner, which we were supposed to see but couldn’t because I had Arcade Fire tickets. And while I wouldn’t have passed up that concert for anything, it’s too bad that we had to miss this documentary; sounds like it was a good one.
