Mikel Olaciregui, director de DocumentaMadrid, ha asegurado que una selecci n que alterna temas de actualidad como la situaci n en la Plaza Tahrir de El Cairo o la lucha contra Bashar al-Assad en la ciudad de Homs con tratamientos m s intimistas de temas como la pobreza, el sistema financiero visto desde dentro o la tolerancia religiosa en Ir n. Con ella, el festival mantiene su compromiso de potenciar y difundir el cine de no-ficci n en la medida que ste es un reflejo de las realidades que existen en nuestro planeta, ofreci ndonos puntos de vista plurales en una precisa instant nea de los agitados tiempos que estamos viviendo .
Un cine de lo real, m s vivo que nunca, que nos acercar a los puntos m s conflictivos del planeta a trav s de pel culas como Return to homs, sobre el largo periodo de guerra en Siria; Ukraine, is not a brothel, en los meses previos al conflicto Ucraniano, las activistas feministas de FEMEN, centraron el foco de atenci n mundial sobre un pa s con grandes restricciones, inmerso en la corrupci n y atenazado por un patriarcado post-sovi tico; The green prince, basada en hechos reales, cuenta la historia de una de las fuentes de informaci n m s valoradas por Israel, el hijo de uno de los l deres de Ham s; o Iranian, una larga conversaci n entre el realizador iran Mehran Tamadon, que es ateo, y cuatro fervientes mul s en la Rep blica Isl mica de Ir n.
