“Hi, guys, I’m Terra, and I killed my stepdad in self-defense,” the woman in the video chirpily says. She has long, sweeping blond hair and is wearing a baseball tee, and with her upbeat demeanor she comes off more like an incoming sorority girl doing icebreakers at rush than a survivor of a horrific, widely publicized violent crime.

The massive Doc NYC festival wrapped up in New York City last week, having showcased over 250 films and events. We have already looked at a documentary about a David Lynch classic as well as a series of films about the cities around us. We conclude with a wrap-up diving into some of the human portraits that will hopefully be making their way to cinemas, festivals and VOD over the next year.
A Murder In Mansfield
Barbara Kopple won an Academy Award for her first two films. That those two documentaries, Harlan County USA and American Dream were made 14 years apart becomes an even more impressive statistic when you consider just how prolific she has become since the late 1990s, often averaging two projects a year. This year is no different as she follows This is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous with A Murder in Mansfield. YouTube stars and true...

“I did not murder Mommy on purpose,” John Boyle Jr. insists. He stares at his son, Collier Landry, through thick glasses. “That’s not my intention, I did not plan that.”
Collier Landry faces his father in an overwhelmingly taupe prison room. “Did you want me as a son?” he asks curtly. “Did you want a child?”
Boyle responds as if by rote. “Sure.”
So goes Landry’s futile quest for fatherly approval, the journey at the heart of illustrious documentarian Barbara Kopple’s latest project, “A Murder in Mansfield.” The film follows Landry as he returns to his Ohio hometown to uncover the truth about his mother’s murder.
