Don't Come Upstairs (2026)

For Mike Lobel’s family, there was one unspoken rule: never ask Dad what he did for a living. In the documentary Don’t Come Upstairs, Lobel uncovers the secret his father, Eric, guarded for years—a long-running career as a major drug distributor in Canada. Blending home-video footage with interviews from family members, the film looks beyond one man’s double life to examine how his secrecy shaped the people closest to him. It explores inherited trauma, the consequences of parental choices, and the hope for healing and reconnection that comes when difficult truths are finally faced. The story builds toward a family confrontation that reveals one last truth.
