Among the U.S. documentary competition films are Gabriela Cowperthwaite's Blackfish, which centers on a notorious killer whale responsible for three human deaths; Carl Deal and Tia Lessin's Citizen Koch, which looks at a Republican Party in flux and the impact of new campaign-finance rules; and Martha Shane and Lana Wilson's After Tiller, which examines the issue of late-term abortions.

After Tiller is the sort of Sundance film that could court controversy, and perhaps even a protest in Park City. (It wouldn't be the first: In 2011, the Westboro Baptist Church picketed outside the theater where Kevin Smith's politically tinged horror film Red State premiered.) After Tiller, named for Dr. George Tiller, who performed late-term abortions and was murdered in 2009, looks at the four remaining U.S. physicians who perform the controversial procedure. "That is a very hot topic," Groth said. "We were not sure how people were going to react to even the notion of that film."
