The 25th edition of the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary festival has come and gone. The general theme this year seemed to women’s rights, with half the selection being directed by women and there even being a program dedicated to “Silence Breakers.” It seems that Hot Docs becomes bigger every year, which can be evidenced by how busy I was over the ten days of the festival.

Without further ado, here is my wrap-up of Hot Docs 2018.
