In this week’s NOW, I talk to Hugh Gibson (who is also this week’s guest on Someone Else’s Movie, because sometimes the stars align just the right way) about his powerful new documentary The Stairs, which opens at the Lightbox tomorrow after wowing audiences at TIFF.

You’ll also find my thoughts on Motley’s Law, another really strong doc that made its Canadian premiere last night at Doc Soup; there’s one more screening tonight at 6:45 pm, so if it sounds at all interesting you should definitely catch it while it’s here.

And now I’m off to New York for a couple of days. Work stuff. Trust me, you’ll be glad I went.
