Exclusive Canadian Premiere This true-crime documentary-style series follows Mike Mildon and his true-crime-obsessed best friend Jackson Rowe as they attempt to solve this coldest of cold cases. In 1934, Mike s great-great-uncle, Harold Heaven, mysteriously disappeared from his cabin in Minden, ON. Local police searched the nearby woods and lake, but Harold was never found nor heard from again. Eighty-six years later, Mike and Jackson head back to Minden to attempt to uncover the truth with the help of Mike s extended family, town locals, old photos and 1934 police reports. The further they dig, the stranger the theories get.

Hale County This Morning, This Evening
RaMell Ross’s Oscar-nominated experimental documentary about a group of friends living in Alabama’s Black Belt dispenses with traditional narrative in a search for the sublime. Shot over five years, the director uses associative editing to create a story out of sensory experience while emphasizing the landscapes and sounds of Hale County. Despite falling back on a few familiar visual tricks, the movie is most viscerally compelling when Ross’s probing camera evokes time through the natural flow and movements of his characters.
