Her long-form documentary work has been broadcast on television and screened at festivals in Europe and North America. Ania’s recent documentary feature credits include: Becoming Nobody, a film about a spiritual guru, Ram Dass, exploring our universal human condition, Relentless, a story of an off-shore sailor’s attempt to win one of the most gruelling single-handed ocean races in the world, which was honoured with a Silver Dolphin at Cannes, and Ice-Breaker: The 1972 Summit Series (2022), which is currently playing in theatres and festivals across Canada.
