Into Eternity: A Film for the Future (2010)

Excellent

[6 August 2011]

If you want to be informed about the problems of nuclear energy in a clear, balanced and intelligent way, you've come to the right place.

This film really opened my eyes and my conscience to what I and all my other fellow human beings are doing with our planet and the serious problems we pass down to future generations.

I felt the style of the film passed to the topic: slow shots, for example showing just how long it takes to build this underground nuclear waste storage facility. And then this has to remain untouched for thousands of years! Great illustration and comparison to these unimaginable time scales. So, also a very appropriate title: Into Eternity.

This is a very necessary film for everyone living today. I hope many people watch it. It can make our world a better place.

Russian Lessons (2010)

An extremely important and courageous film

[3 July 2010]

Like one of the other reviewers, I can't say enough to describe the film's brilliance and it's effect on me.

I disagree that a "call to arms" is missing from the film. It is investigative journalism, information. Of course it's subjective too. How can any film not be subjective to some extent? But that's what I believe to be the aim of this film: to inform us of the truth that was hidden from us by Russian propaganda, by Western laziness and economic interests. It is then up to us, viewers, citizens of the world, to decide what we do with this complex web of information, how we act.

I applaud the filmmakers' efforts, courage, their unrelenting belief in the right thing to do.

I hope that more and more Russians and citizens of the western world are ready to watch this film: To face the truth about these incidents and their implications. To learn these lessons.
