What's Showing In Independent, Foreign & Documentary Film

Visit a small town, ripe for fracking exploitation, and zip down Central Park West with FDR. Feel the pain of a gay couple in the 1970s as they fight to care for an abandoned, mentally ill teenager.

Up to Date's indie, foreign and documentary film critics’ list includes all of these and much more, as they take a look at the films open on the silver screen in Kansas City this week.
