Since the end of WWII, conventional wisdom claimed that Imperial Japan was years away from building an atomic weapon. Japan’s Atomic Bomb shatters that view. However, new research and physical documents now paint a different picture. What would have happened if the Japanese had struck first?

Using once-secret Japanese wartime documents, this special offers evidence that Japan had world-class nuclear physicists, access to uranium ore, and cyclotrons to process it. They devised an innovative way to deliver the bombs using 400-foot long Sen Toku submarines, capable of carrying and launching airplanes. Most startling, just six days after Hiroshima, Japan tested its own atomic device on a small island 20 miles off the Korean coast! The sobering conclusion is that Japan may have been just weeks behind the U.S. in the race for the bomb.

Beating the Bomb is an independent, non commercial, grassroots documentary. It has been screened in over 15 festivals worldwide and won an award for ‘best documentary, aglet award’ at The Red Rock Film Festival in Utah, USA.

It was born out of the desire to rebalance the mainstream, status quo reporting on a very important issue in politics, in fact, the underpinning power instrument –nuclear weapons.

The foundations of the power structures that rose out of the rubble of WWII, thus the foundations of our economic and political system are ‘straight power concepts’. The most straightforward of them being ‘The Bomb’, both in its physical manifestation and also in the mindset it engenders and stems from.

The fight for a nuclear free world and a sustainable system necessitates that the status quo be challenged. A more ecologically sustainable, less consumer driven, less exploited world is a dream shared by millions. So why are we are paying trillions to keep the unsustainable status quo going? In a world where 800 million don’t have access to safe drinking water – will they get their water before we spend trillions more building more weapons in the name of ‘security, creating jobs and economic growth’?

After the Ballot is a full-length documentary that shows how powerless politicians can be.  In this groundbreaking expose set in the Quebec, Canada courts the cameras follow two politicians on opposite sides of the political divide. They are both believers in their cause – a cause they have little power to promote. The globalized economy is the real indicator of how policy is made – and even though we vote for our politicians to represent our interests it is this global fiscal policy that really calls the shots.

Although set in Canada this documentary applies to any democracy, especially the United States and the United Kingdom.

The great space race to put a man on the moon. It was first proposed by President John F. Kennedy, who predicted that by the end of the 1960′s, man will have gone to the moon. Further, that it would be an American who first stepped foot on the moon.

It was a bold promise – perhaps a challenge, as there was much more at stake than bragging rights. The United States, as we remember, was deep in a political struggled with the U.S.S.R for world dominance. It was a battle of communism and capitalism.  While the citizens wondered innocently about who would fly their flag on the moon, the USSR and USA were running secret programs to have spying satellites, military missiles, and more aimed at the other country!

At the time, the world didn’t know how dangerously close nuclear war became on several occasions. Frankly, I think  it is a miracle we survived. This NOVA effort shows us just how lucky we are – and how close we came to Star Wars.
