Current Projects
World Without Borders
In association with Áhkku Vision, Finland
Award-winning author Todd Miller has traveled across the world’s borderlands for decades reporting and reflecting on the ‘immigration crisis”, meeting climate refugees, indigenous peoples, border authorities, revolutionary soldiers, clergy, arms dealers, scholars, and shape-shifting visionaries.
World Without Borders is this frontline reporter’s cri de coeur against the ‘wall sickness’ overrunning the planet and a call to arms for the emerging radical NO BORDERS! movement.
The film follows Miller around the world as he meets fellow travelers on this revolutionary pathway.
Gassed?
Did a Nobel Peace Prize-winning arms control agency yield to political pressure and lie about poison gas attacks in Syria to justify Western military intervention?
For three decades, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has worked to eliminate the scourge of chemical weapons. But whistleblowers have emerged and this lauded organization is now mired in an ugly scandal which questions the impartiality of its activities and the political loyalties of top officials.
An explosive investigation into a story the media has refused to cover.
Lil' Black Boy
In association with Áhkku Vision, Finland
How does the past live in the present?
Carlo, a young gang member decides to leave his life on the streets to investigate the high-profile police killing of his great-grandfather, a Black WWII veteran, in the suburbs of New York in 1946.
The shooting of a Black soldier in uniform prompted mass protests and a Grand Jury investigation but the case was swept under the carpet and forgotten.
Carlo's search for truth uncovers an untold story of the civil rights struggle, and also the science of epigenetics, which helps him heal his intergenerational trauma.
Origins of the Pandemic
In association with ZED France
Did the COVID-19 pandemic occur naturally or is it the result of something that leaked from a laboratory?
The “lab origin” hypothesis, once maligned as a conspiracy theory, is now taken seriously by many scientists thanks, in large part, to a group of skeptical virologists, molecular biologists and other “scientist detectives” uncovering clues about the virus.Their mission has been derided by powerful political and economic interests. And their reputations are on the line. But they persevere.
A scientific detective story for our troubled times.
