Today, the art world and beyond is obsessed with shooting analog. Whether it’s a fashion house seeking to bring a new edge to their creative work, an amateur perusing eBay for the perfect vintage Polaroid, or an influencer attempting to capture a comforting retro aesthetic on social media, analog photography has piqued the interest of people everywhere.

I encourage you to watch this film before you or your loved ones consent to a mammogram. When considering a higher standard for our daughters, is it time to reexamine our current disempowering Breast Cancer Awareness paradigm and implement empowerment with Breast Health Awareness strategies? In this award winning documentary surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, scientists, advocates...warn women of the truth that is kept from them. A truth that can cause grave harm, and even death. Many studies conclude the risks mammograms pose far outweigh the benefits and that mammograms have not decreased the ultimate mortality rate, not even by 1%, and 33% to over 60% of women are being over-diagnosed and over-treated. Is it time to question the motives of some in the current Breast Cancer "Industry"? Mammography's radiation can cause cancer, compression can spread cancer if present, 3D mammograms are CT scans (utilizing more radiation) and MRI utilizes toxic contrast agents. Are Breast Thermograms (Infrared Scans), self-Breast Exams, clinical breast exams, ultrasounds and/or Blood Tests better options? I hope you will demand full transparency for informed consent and easy access to all of your options, so you have the opportunity to make educated decisions about your health and for the health of your daughters. Interviewed doctors and experts: Joseph Mercola, Ben Johnson, David Marquis, Veronique Desaulniers, Carolyn Dean, Julie Taguchi, Judy Dean, Duncan Turner, Christine Horner, Phil Getson, G.

According to many authorities, since the late 1950's subliminal content has been tested and delivered through all forms of media, at an increasingly alarming rate. "PROGRAMMING THE NATION?" examines the purported uses, influences and potential subconscious side-effects of what's going on beneath the surface of advertising, film, music and political propaganda. Even the US military has been accused of using this technology in their Psychological Operations Unit, (PSY OPS) campaign. This socially relevant documentary not only traces the history of this phenomenon, but seeks to determine the validity and potential threat that may or may not exist. Do you ever find yourself doing or buying things without any conscious reasoning? Why has consumer debt in America risen over 50% since 1990? How is it possible that the United States consumes about 25% of the world's resources while only making up 4.5% of the world's population? Are we all part of an elaborate scheme which has been programming the nation? Decide for yourself... Director: Jeff Warrick

In 2001, the lucrative chocolate industry, due to pressure from NGOs, committed itself to putting an end to child labour in cacao plantations before 2006. 18 years later, has that promise been kept? The Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cacao producer, made a real effort to eradicate this scourge on the country. They built schools and trained farmers. Television adverts even reminded populations that child labour is illegal. So why does child exploitation still exist?
