What the Future Sounded Like
Post-war Britain rebuilt itself on a wave of scientific and industrial breakthroughs that culminated in the cultural revolution of the 1960s. It was a period of sweeping change and experimentation where art and culture participated in and reflected the wider social changes. In this atmosphere was born the Electronic Music Studios (EMS), a radical group of avant-garde electronic musicians who utilized technology and experimentation to compose a futuristic electronic sound-scape for the New Britain.

Eurovision’s Dirty Secret
Reporter Paul Kenyon finds out how the contest has been used as a tool of intimidation: viewers have been interrogated for voting for the nation’s long-term enemy, Armenia; a protest singer has been told to flee before Eurovision or he will be thrown in jail; and dozens have had their homes bulldozed to make way for the Eurovision event itself.
The US embassy in Baku has compared the ruling family to the Mafia. The regime has held onto power through a combination of rigged elections, jailing opponents, and by irregular control of the country’s vast oil wealth. So, why did the organisers of the world’s best-loved music event agree to host it in Azerbaijan?

Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion
A film about the state of Chinese occupied Tibet and its history of oppression and resistance. Filmed during nine journeys throughout Tibet, India and Nepal, this film brings audiences to the long-forbidden “rooftop of the world”… from rarely-seen rituals in remote monasteries, to horse races with Khamba warriors; from brothels and slums in the holy city of Lhasa, to magnificent Himalayan peaks still traveled by nomadic yak caravans. The dark secrets of Tibet’s recent past are chronicled through personal stories and interviews, and a collection of undercover and archival images.

Truth in Numbers? Everything, According to Wikipedia
After viewing this film, you will never look at Wikipedia the same way. The filmmakers engagingly explore the history and cultural implications of one of the most referenced sites on the Web. A whole range of opinion is expressed about the impact of Wikipedia on the archiving of learning, from interviews with founder Jimmy Wales to commentators suspicious of the site’s supposed neutrality. Evenhandedly weaving multiple perspectives about the impact of Wikipedia, the film provokes a deeper conversation on how knowledge is formed and what future generations will learn about history and the world.

Consuming Kids: The Commercialization of Childhood
Consuming Kids throws desperately needed light on the practices of a relentless multi-billion dollar marketing machine that now sells kids and their parents everything from junk food and violent video games to bogus educational products and the family car.
Drawing on the insights of health care professionals, children’s advocates, and industry insiders, the film focuses on the explosive growth of child marketing in the wake of deregulation, showing how youth marketers have used the latest advances in psychology, anthropology, and neuroscience to transform American children into one of the most powerful and profitable consumer demographics in the world.

Secret Space 3: The Crop Circle Conspiracy
In this film, Chris Everard, who has visited more than 200 crop circles personally, describes the ancient energy grid, known as Ley Lines which intersect at Stonehenge, Silbury Hill and Avebuty, and how the ditches around many standing stones concentrate a flow of this geo-etheric energy…. Through photographic analysis of many crop circles which often accumulate close to these ancient megalithic stone circles, Chris Everard has managed to piece together a Timeline which connects more than 4,000 years of history – proving that the Crop Circles are ‘attracted’ to these lines of geo-energy and that our ancient forefathers knew all about the self-luminous balls of energy which make the Crop Circles…

Beyond Treason
It reveals a history of profiteering by chemical companies such as Monsanto Company who used war as an occasion to sell their latest products, such as Agent Orange. The film gives details of US government testing of chemicals on its own citizens such as Operation Whitecoat and MKUltra. The film makes a compelling case that this policy is responsible for Gulf War syndrome, still referred to by the US military as a ‘mystery illness’. The film suggests that the symptoms have a range of causes including cost cutting on safety equipment by military contractors, exposure to depleted uranium (DU) munitions or other unlicensed chemicals as well as intentional experimentation on American soldiers by the US military.

The Fluoride Deception
In this video, award-winning investigative journalist Christopher Bryson examines “one of the great secret narratives of the industrial era; how a grim workplace poison and the most damaging environmental pollutant of the cold war was added to our drinking water and toothpaste.” That pollutant is fluoride. In this video, Bryson explains the findings of his highly-praised book, The Fluoride Deception. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, “After reading Bryson’s account of our national infatuation with fluoride, it’s hard not to wonder how we could have ignored so serious an issue for so long.”
