Jonas
Director, Eli Daughdrill, USA
An intimate portrait of Jonas, a 34 yr old schizophrenic, fashioned by his brother, Eli. The film details his life: marginalized, banal, and unfulfilled. Jonas is completely aware of his illness and refuses to let it define him, but struggles to find anything else that will. A highly personal film that exposes the complexities of family dynamics, of Jonas himself, and how labels like schizophrenic are limiting and often useless.

Vaccine Nation
Director, Gary Null, USA
In his documentary film Vaccine Nation, award-winning investigative film director Dr. Gary Null challenges the basic health claims by government health agencies and pharmaceutical firms that vaccines are perfectly safe. This is one of the most critical questions facing today’s children and future generations to come. If inoculation with a large regimen of vaccines is safe, what can account for the rapid increase in autism and other mental disabilities that are now at epidemic proportions? And why isn’t the sudden onset of neurological illnesses in children being treated as an urgent crisis by our government and medical industries?
Weaving together interviews with many of the nations most expert medical researchers, private physicians specializing in autism, parents of children victimized by immunization, congressmen, vaccination activists, legal authorities and more, Vaccine Nation will awaken viewers to one of the continual perils to the health and future of children.
