Criticism can be a public service, and here I broke down DC/DOX into five subsections:
-pop culture ephemera
-nature docs
-longitudinal studies
-true crime
-post-10/7 Palestine docs
There are good choices in each, so if you're in DC this weekend, you should check out some nonfiction cinema!

The DC/DOX film is this weekend, and in my preview for @wcp.bsky.social, I cover 10 different films you could see across five different nonfiction subgenres.
Highlights include The Last First, a mountain climbing doc, and geopolitical true crime thriller Who Killed Alex Odeh.
