✨ Big applause for our incredible Hot Docs volunteers! ✨ This year, over 500 volunteers joined us to make the Hot Docs Festival truly special. From delivering screening schedules throughout the city to greeting you at screenings with bright smiles, these fantastic individuals are the heart and soul of Hot Docs. They embody the community spirit and dedication that have made our festival world-renowned. We truly couldn’t imagine running a successful festival each year without each one of them. 🎉
