The Mystery of DB Cooper (May 4)
Who is DB Cooper? This roller-coaster ride of a documentary brings to life the stories of four individuals fervently believed by their family and friends to be the mystery man who, in 1971, hijacked a Boeing 727, then leapt from the plane, and was never heard from again.

An energetic exploration of male identity via the lives, personalities, and adventures of a diverse band of men across the globe all sharing the same name – James Bond.
Traveling from the streets of Havana to the stage of Carnegie Hall, this revelatory and beloved 1999 documentary captures a forgotten generation of Cuba’s brightest musical talents as they enjoy an unexpected encounter with world fame.
Offering an interrogation of our culture’s fascination with Hitler and Nazism, this conversation-starting doc is set against the backdrop of the current rise of white supremacy, the normalisation of antisemitism, and the weaponisation of history itself.
