Now in its third incarnation, the DOCNZ Documentary Film Festival reaches its final leg this week, in Wellington until November 21. In the topical stakes are two highlights: the Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted, global warming doomsday pamphlet The 11th Hour, and the Spike Lee-directed Hurricane Katrina requiem When the Levees Broke, which BRANNAVAN GNANALINGAM previews in his essay Spike Lee’s Territory. Elsewhere, ALEXANDER BISLEY picks six essentials from the 91 documentaries on display:

» When the Levees Broke
» My Country, My Country
» The 11th Hour
» What Would Jesus Buy?
» Lovely Rita
» Orange Revolution
