User Reviews

A Documentary for our times on the use and abuse of POWER

This work began on a very personal level with the unexplained illness of a friend of the director. During its development, it built into a powerful indictment of WiFi and smart-meter technologies which now are not only beamed in unprecedented and ever greater volumes indiscriminately throughout our common environment, but now even force active radio transmitters onto and into our very homes and castles. The possible consequences for our health and security are laid our clearly, forcibly and with authority.

This film should be viewed by all who are concerned with our future well being and that of those who are coming after us. We are in uncharted territory like that of tobacco smoke, thalidomide, asbestos, lead in gasoline, etc. all of which proved to be disastrous for many but only showed up years later. We are no guinea pigs. Or are we?
