“There are only very few festivals that fed my love for documentaries so deeply, that I decided to invest my life and soul in it, and RIDM is one of those! Being invited to be a Jury at the 2020 edition is more than an honor, it’s a dream come true!”

At RIDM is also the Canadian premiere of Amel Alzakout and Khaled Abdulwahed’s feature Purple Sea – a poetic and poignant documentary following a harrowing boat journey through the Mediterranean.
