Battling Darkness

Prior to 1973, Satan seemed all but dead and gone, the causality of a modernist mindset. But with Linda Blair’s disturbing performance in The Exorcist, Satan returned with a vengeance and since then films about demonic possession have fascinated viewers worldwide.

However, was the visage of Satan that returned Biblical or distorted? And how have these images influenced society’s view of the demonic and spiritual warfare?

In this thought provoking documentary, these questions are examined with objectivity and insight from psychologists, modern day exorcists and leading voices in Christianity.

Sex Messages

Sex sells! This simple idea propels billions of dollars in advertising and media content revenue every year and is a driving force in shaping youth culture today. From New York to L.A., Toronto to Boston, teen and expert voices define the astounding impact media sex messages have had on their lives and communities.

In this hour long documentary the producer looks at why companies are promoting sex to sell products to younger and younger children, how pornography is changing behavior on campuses across the continent, and why there is a new movement among youth to rebel against the sex messages they have been sold. Experts include Dr. Caroline Heldman (Professor of Politics – Occidental College), Dr. Sharon Lamb (Professor of Psychology – University of Massachusetts), and Dean Batali (Writer – That 70s Show), who dig deep into the issue and explore this unique social phenomenon.

Youth Under Fire

Columbine. Virginia Tech. Sandy Hook. They are three names that will forever be associated with the same devastating phenomenon: kids killing kids.

Compared to other developed countries, rates of youth violence in the United States are staggeringly high. In fact, homicide remains the second-leading cause of death for Americans between 15 and 24.
This enlightening documentary seeks to explore the many ways in which violence has infiltrated American culture. How is violence learned among today’s youth? Why does it happen in the first place? And – most importantly – how do we teach our kids that violence is not an option?

Through examining gang violence, mass shootings, and common acts of violence, Youth Under Fire: the Fight Against Violence seeks to discover what these devastating situations have in common. To find the answers, we rely on those closest to the problem, including gang members, victims of youth violence, and experts who have tried to answer this troubling riddle for years. And through powerful stories of hope and perseverance, we learn that being a victim of violence does not necessarily lead to being a victim of circumstance.

Pain Killers

In one year, they’ve claimed the lives of more than 16,000 people in the United States. They’ve stolen identities, broken families, and led to life changing addictions. And they are likely sitting in your medicine cabinet this very moment.

In the last 20 years, there has been a fundamental shift in the way doctors have been treating pain in North America. Powerful pain killers known as opioids used to be reserved for treating the terminally ill. But today, they’re at the center of a national health epidemic.

The results have been catastrophic. Every 20 minutes an American dies due to an overdose on opioids. And for the first time in history, more people are dying from a prescription drug overdose than a car crash as the leading cause of accidental death in North America.

We seek to answer some of the toughest questions surrounding this epidemic. How did these drugs become so prevalent? Who is responsible? And most importantly: What can be done to stop our youths from abusing these drugs?

In this powerful documentary, we speak with renowned experts, parents who have lost children, and individuals who personally experienced the throes of addiction. This documentary will inform you about the dangers of abusing opioids and how you can help someone who is caught in the
deadly grip of prescription drug addiction.
