He is most noted for his 2019 film Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band, which was the opening film of the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival,[3] and his 2022 film Navalny, about the Russian opposition leader, lawyer, anti-corruption activist, and political prisoner Alexei Navalny, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards.[4][5]

Early life

Roher grew up in midtown Toronto, in a Jewish family. After graduating from Etobicoke School of the Arts, he studied for three semesters at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, USA.[6]

Career

His 2019 film Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band was also screened at the 2019 Whistler Film Festival, where it was the winner of the Whistler Film Festival Documentary Award.[7] Roher and Eamonn O'Connor were Canadian Screen Award nominees for Best Editing in a Documentary at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020, and Canadian Cinema Editors award nominees for Best Editing in a Documentary in 2020.[8]

Roher previously directed the short documentaries Survivors Rowe,[9] which was a CSA nominee for Best Documentary Program at the 5th Canadian Screen Awards in 2017,[10] and Sourtoe: The Story of the Sorry Cannibal, which was a CSA nominee for Best Direction in a Web Program or Series at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018.

In 2025, Roher directed Tuner, his first narrative fiction film.[11] The thriller starred Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, Havana Rose Liu, Jean Reno, Lior Raz, and Tovah Feldshuh, and premiered at Telluride Film Festival.[12]

In December 2025, it was announced that Roher would co-direct The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, a documentary feature film about the future of AI.[12] The film, co-directed with Charlie Tyrell, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2026.
