    1. "American Doctor" (2026) | Official Trailer
    2. A 1991 news report on New Zealand government cutbacks in film funding. A reporter goes behind the scenes of a splatter film & seemingly sticks his nose up that this might showcase/advance Kiwi culture. The young kiwi filmmaker they highlight makes this all very ironic in hindsight.
    3. First Image of 'A Statement', Written & Directed By 'Spotlight' Best Picture Winner Tom McCarthy | A group of activists, scientists & policymakers convene at a pivotal 1980 conference on threat of climate change, to draft a call-for-action statement to congress — but they can't agree on the wording
