Discuss: What Will Win the Heineken Audience Award?

What films move you? It's rather telling that five out of the six past Audience Award winners have been stirring documentaries that have a lot to say about the human condition, including Every Mother's Son (TFF '04); Street Fight (TFF '05), the Oscar-nominated doc by Racing Dreams' Marshall Curry that followed the current Mayor of Newark, Cory Booker, during his 2002 run; and last year's winner, War Child, about former child soldier turned rapper/humanitarian Emmanuel Jal. Last year's race was an interesting one, as War Child and the eventual Best Documentary Feature winner, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, were locked in a tight competition—with each film taking the lead at certain points—until War Child pulled out the eventual win.

So take a close look at this year's Festival slate and place your bets. Democracy is awesome! While Documentaries have been dominating, Features can win too. It's all a matter of what you like! So... what do you predict will stir up the most passions? What will win the Heineken Audience Award?
