- History tells of cultures that grew and flourished, only to disappear or turn to dust. Some have left behind accounts of the catastrophes that destroyed them. The question is whether we will experience the same fate. Will the earth end up as a barren planet, razed to the ground by nuclear weapons, earthquakes, or floods? Has it happened before? Will it all happen again, as prophets have so often predicted? Or is there still hope for us all? Following some of the traces left behind by our ancestors, exploring ancient Indian wisdom and consulting today's religious leaders, scientists and philosophers - this documentary reveals a startling picture of mankind's very early existence and a glimpse into a future we all share.
- The birth of a deformed child has always evoked strong feelings. Reactions range from awe, curiosity and compassion to fear, repulsion and plain aggression. Our fearful fascination of the disfigured has its roots way back in our collective history. With a piquant touch of humour and irony, well known disabled British actor Nabil Shaban takes us on a spell-binding journey through history, a journey just now and then interrupted by four intelligent, interesting, dignified personalities who let us look behind and beyond their unusual facades to tell their personal stories. The film takes us from antiquity, when deformed human beings were role models for Greek and Roman Gods, via the Middle Ages, which were dominated by attempts to find "natural" explanations typical of the Age of Reason. We visit the Victorian world of side-show freaks and eventually end up in Germany during the Second World War in Hitler's horror regime with its extreme theories for the improvement of the human race that had fatal consequences for thousands of disabled. But what are the theories of today's advanced world of gene technology and prenatal diagnosis, which have made it possible to prevent deformed people from ever being born? Are we aware of the consequences? Do we have the right to deprive others of the right to live just because they are different? Disfigured people face the fact that they might belong to the last generation of their kind. What is our main characters' intimate reaction to the prospect of becoming extinct? By the end of the film, we may find ourselves profoundly questioning our ideas of beauty and perfection.
- Documentary filmmaker Mikkel Stolt has come to a stall in his career but eyes an opportunity for making a new ground-breaking film about the cyberspace universe called Second Life. He enrolls as Mike Pround (literally a translation of his actual Danish name) and with the help of amo. Rob Danton/Rob Gould and Helena Kirkorian, he tries to make a film inside Second Life. In his research, he also comes across Danny Hillis and The Long Now Foundation and is forced to ponder over the different realities in time and space. However, Mikkel is mostly infatuated with the belle Helena whom he pursues while his real-life wife, Helle, is waiting at home. Or is she?
- To this day the official explanation of the Chernobyl disaster has been human error and negligence. The documentary reveals that according to geological criteria the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was wrongly located from the start. Several other European nuclear power plants are just as dangerously sited, according to various international geologists who have been trying to raise the alarm for years. The documentary shows that Chernobyl proved them right: The disaster may very well have been a result of the displacement accompanying a local earthquake twenty-two seconds before the accident. We are guided through the events on the fatal night once again and visit the sarcophagus surrounding Block 4. We examine exclusive footage shot inside it, and meet the experts who participated directly in the investigation from the very beginning. We hear about the partly suppressed statements from the staff who were on duty on the night of the accident, and look into the KGB reports.
