There are tons of amazing-looking documentaries screening at Tribeca [1] this year, but I can only get to see so many! Of the docs listed, the following ones most catch my fancy. Fingers crossed I have the time to see each of these.

Gotta Dance [2]
It's like Young@Heart [3] but with dancing! You know stories like these make me weepy so I'll be seeing this one for sure, probably cushioned by wads of Kleenex. The documentary follows the first-ever, senior citizen hip-hop dance team for the New Jersey Nets Basketball team "from auditions through to center court stardom."

Several more docs if you .

Hotel Gramercy Park [4]
This one sounds like a cool peek into the history of one of New York City's most-intriguing historic hotels. The filmmakers check in with everyone from Karl Lagerfeld to Deborah Harry to Paris Hilton about what has made this hotel a rich piece of New York history. The description states, "In its earliest iteration, the hotel lured in those who had arrived in high society — and those who wanted to. The Kennedys rented out a floor. An up-and-coming Humphrey Bogart tied the knot there. In the '70s and '80s, it became popular with creative types of a different sort: the musicians, artists, and junkies who appreciated the management's 'anything goes' attitude." Clearly, this is the perfect documentary for a film festival that celebrates New York.

Lioness [5]
According to the film's description [6], Lioness tells "the untold story of the first group of women soldiers in US history to be sent into direct-ground combat, in violation of official policy. Together the women's candid narratives and scenes from their lives back home form a portrait of the emotional and psychological effects of war from a female point of view." Everything about this movie piques my curiosity.

My Life Inside [7]
This documentary tells the story of illegal Mexican immigrant Rosa Jiménez who was accused of murdering a child she babysat. Now her challenge lies in convincing a jury to "see past the fact that Rosa came to America illegally."

Gunnin' For That Number One Spot [8]
In this film, "eight of the US's top high-school basketball players compete in the first 'Elite 24' tournament at Rucker Park." It's directed by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch [9] who "combines two of his favorite things in his first nonconcert feature documentary: the excitement of street basketball and some slammin' hip-hop tracks."
