Silent Fallout

Narrated by Alec Baldwin.

SILENT FALLOUT tells the true story of a dedicated group of female physicians in the 1950s who uncovered the deadly impact of atomic bomb testing through baby teeth studies. Their research helped lead to the historic ban on atmospheric nuclear tests.

Divided into different chapters with titles like “Omens” and “Baby Teeth”, SILENT FALLOUT is comprised of interviews with several adults who grew up near the testing site in Nevada and have experienced inexplicable health problems starting from when they were small children. 

In addition to all of the compelling eyewitness testimony, ample scientific evidence was also furnished by Louise Reiss, a physicist who spearheaded the famous Baby Tooth Survey, a nationwide study in which thousands of baby teeth were collected from all across the nation. Tests conducted on all of these teeth over the course of a decade demonstrated that levels of Strontium-90 were 50 times higher in children born after the advent of atomic testing compared with those born before it in 1950.

Something Better Change

From the Punk Rock Stage to The Mayor’s Office. A documentary film about the legendary punk band D.O.A. and frontman Joe Keithley’s shocking political victory.

Throughout the 1980s, outfits like Black Flag, D.O.A., Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat and the Circle Jerks helped define the decade’s deafening hardcore punk sound, paving the way for the eventual explosion of punk bands through radio and MTV in the decades to come. While punk rock’s upper echelon may no longer be as culturally seditious as they once were, the genre’s effect on a new generation of activists and aspiring politicians has never been more clear.

The Vancouver-based D.O.A. have always been a politically outspoken outfit since first forming in 1978 as teenagers. Their mix of raucous anthems like “Fucked Up Ronnie”, “America The Beautiful”, “The Prisoner” and others remain classics. The band’s 1981 LP entitled “Hardcore ’81” was awarded the prestigious Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize in 2019 , which honors groundbreaking Canadian albums from the past, winning out over 11 other critical album releases including The Band’s “Music From Big Pink”, and Joni Mitchell’s “Court And Spark.”

In 2018, after 40 years of fighting against oppression, homelessness and corporate greed around the world, D.O.A. frontman Joe Keithley decided to turn art into life and run against the outspoken Mayor of Burnaby, Derek Corrigan. In a classic underdog scenario –and with only a $7000 campaign budget–Keithley convincingly won a city councillor seat that year and helped to unseat the entrenched five-term Corrigan.

The filmmakers followed Joe Keithley during his 2022 reelection campaign to document the amount of work and commitment that goes into running for public office. They were allowed unprecedented access to Keithley’s entire campaign throughout its often chaotic and nail-biting conclusion.

Ultimately, Something Better Change is a documentary film that proves music, political steadfastness and social advocacy can work together to effect real change just about everywhere–including city hall.

Features Joe Keithley, Jello Biafra, Dave Grohl, Penelope Houston, and more.

2024 / Documentary / 85 minutes / English / A film by Scott Crawford (Salad Days).

Frank Whittle: A Genius in the Family

The David-versus-Goliath story of the man who built the war winning jet engine in the face of huge opposition from the scientific community, the government and big business.

In 1937 Whittle ran the world’s first turbojet engine leading to a revolution in the way we travel – all of today’s jet engines can trace their origin to Whittle’s work.

Whittle’s invention of the turboJet marked the dawn of the dawn of the jet age.

With all the science behind Whittle’s turbojet, an engineering marvel, the fundamentals can be summed up quite simply however as “SUCK, SQUASH, BANG, BLOW”– Kerissa Khan – Former President of The Royal Aeronautical Society

“The production of FRANK WHITTLE: A GENIUS IN THE FAMILY originally set out to explore a simple question:

What is it like to have a genius in your family?

Ian Whittle’s deeply personal testimony about his memoires of his father formed the foundations of the story which we then broadened with the support of a variety of aviation experts and contributors that permitted not only a biographical presentation but also a deep look at the trajectory of Whittle’s invention.

The film took more than four years to produce, taking in locations from the across the UK. The result is that it reveals Frank Whittle as a fascinating and complex man who not only changed the world but allowed us to see what it looks like.” – Nick Horrell, Producer, Director and Writer.

  • •Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle – digitally remastered from original 16mm, filmed in 1986

THE FALLING SKY

Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha & Eryk Rocha’s 2024 documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and the struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.

In collaboration with Brazil’s Indigenous Yanomami people, THE FALLING SKY follows the Yanomami leader and shaman Davi Kopenawa as he fights to return the world to balance in closely observed rituals and trenchant comments on the ruthless logic of a materialistic outside culture. Illegal logging, gold mining, and the deadly mix of epidemics these intrusions spread threaten the existence of the Yanomami.

Based on an acute understanding of geopolitical forces, Davi Kopenawa holds up a mirror to capitalist societies of “the merchandise people” and the unsustainable lifestyle of the so-called “developed countries” that threaten the survival of humanity.

Fresh from theatrical release sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art.

Received a standing ovation at its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Winner: DOC NYC 2024 Grand Jury Prize.

“One of the most necessary and scorching pieces of nonfiction storytelling in recent memory.”  — Carlos Aguilar , Variety

10 out of 10. The Falling Sky fits perfectly in the high ranks of cult documentaries like Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka.” — Michael Talbot-Haynes, Film Threat
