As artificial intelligence accelerates at a breathtaking pace, filmmaker Daniel Roher sets out to understand whether humanity is approaching an extraordinary new era or a catastrophe of its own making. What begins as a personal investigation becomes far more urgent when he and his wife learn they are expecting a child. Faced with predictions ranging from revolutionary medical breakthroughs and powerful new tools for creativity to mass unemployment, deepfakes, autonomous systems and even existential risk, he asks some of the world’s leading AI thinkers a deceptively simple question: should we be excited about the future, or terrified of it? The film explores how generative AI works, why its capabilities are advancing so quickly and what could happen if increasingly powerful systems become difficult to control. Experts debate AI safety and alignment, the race between competing companies, the possibility of machines seeking greater power, and the social consequences of automation and concentrated wealth. At the same time, the documentary confronts the technology’s remarkable promise, from personalized education to scientific discovery and potential cancer treatments. Moving between anxiety and hope, Roher ultimately searches for a way to face an uncertain future not as a pessimist or a blind optimist, but as something in between: an “Apocaloptimist.”
From a teenage soap star in Australia to one of the most beloved pop icons in the world, this intimate documentary opens the doors to Kylie Minogue’s personal archive and reveals the woman behind decades of hits, headlines and reinvention. Through home movies, private photographs and candid interviews, she looks back on the sudden explosion of fame that followed her first UK number one, the tabloid pressure that tried to define her, and the emotional turning points that shaped her as an artist and as a person. Across its three episodes, presented together in one complete viewing experience, the documentary follows her journey through fame, love, loss and survival. Her relationship with Michael Hutchence opens a new era of freedom, style and musical discovery, while later triumphs bring fresh pop success and the dream of headlining Glastonbury. But when a shocking diagnosis interrupts everything, the story becomes far more than a portrait of celebrity: it becomes a moving account of resilience, vulnerability and the extraordinary strength behind a career that has continued to inspire generations.
A documentary that follows Andre Ricciardi after a devastating diagnosis, turning what could be a story of despair into something unexpectedly disarming, honest, and even darkly funny.

Through candid conversations and intimate moments, the film captures his determination to face the inevitable with curiosity, wit, and a stubborn refusal to look away. What unfolds is far more than a personal story about illness. It becomes a deeply human exploration of regret, responsibility, and the fragile line between tragedy and humor. As Andre navigates his final chapter, his perspective challenges everything we expect from stories about death, offering something rare: a raw, thought-provoking, and unexpectedly uplifting experience that stays with you long after it ends.

What begins as a confrontation with mortality unfolds into a deeply human meditation on love, resilience, and the fragile beauty of being alive. Through intimate conversations, flashes of unexpected humor, and moments of raw honesty, the film captures how creativity can illuminate even the darkest chapters. It is not simply a story about illness, but about how two souls refuse to let a diagnosis define the depth of their bond. Moving, poetic, and quietly life-affirming, this is a portrait of love seen in its truest light—when time feels short, and every moment matters.
