Ontario pubcaster TVO has unveiled its spring 2025 programming slate, which will include the premieres of two new documentaries.

Premiering on April 20, Tripping: The Muskoka Lakes offers a three-hour boat ride through Ontario’s most famous cottage district, where tourist resorts, wooden heritage cottages and opulent new steel-and-glass residences coexist alongside stretches of pristine wilderness.

The doc is the latest entry in the Tripping travel franchise from Toronto-headquartered Good Earth Productions, with John Morrison serving as director, Andrea Minty as producer and Mitch Azaria as executive producer.

Debuting on May 25, Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed (1 x 85 min., pictured) is a character-driven documentary that follows three young amateur investigators as they explore the sinister underbelly of the kid-focused Roblox gaming platform. After one of the trio is harassed in one of the platform’s online games, they begin to uncover a disturbing network of extremists, predators and illicit content operating in the virtual world. As their investigation continues, real-world tragedies — including a kidnapping and a mass shooting — underscore the consequences of tech companies that are failing to protect their most vulnerable users.

The doc is produced by Toronto-based Fathom Film Group, with Susan Schafer directing. The producers are Ann Shin and Erica Leendertse. London-based Sideways Film is handling global sales.
