DOC NYC Festival Celebrates Its 10th Year With A Full Docket Of Documentaries

The latest film festival to hit cinema screens around New York City showcases subjects such as the first moon landing, college students struggling with hunger, and one of the most well-known sex therapists to grace television and radio airwaves.

For its 10th year running, the annual DOC NYC Film Festival is showcasing more than 130 feature-length documentaries, as well as short films and panels featuring filmmakers and their subjects. The slate of films being screened this year include "Ask Dr. Ruth," a profile of longtime sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer; "Apollo 11," which tells the story of the first moon landing through archival footage; "Brooklyn Inshallah," a look at the Arab community in Bay Ridge; and "Hungry to Learn," which highlights the difficult decisions that many low-income college students must make on whether to pay their tuition or buy food.

DOC NYC runs until Nov. 10. You can find out more about the film showings, panel discussions, and other events here.
