Several new short docs are on offer as well, including Fatima in Kabul, about 20-year-old Fatima, whose life changed before her eyes after the U.S. and NATO pulled out of Afghanistan; Real Blackity Talk, shining a spotlight on Black women and non-binary Black people; and Patty vs. Patty, revisiting Toronto’s 1985 “Patty Wars.”
