Half Life: A Parable for the Nuclear Age

Officials claimed that it was all a mistake, resulting from last-minute shifts in wind patterns. The evidence gathered in Half-Life presents a restrained but chilling picture of a cynical radiation experiment on a human population whose welfare had been assigned to the United States at the close of World War II. With terrifying calm, the film examines the facts leading up to the Bravo test, the role of the United States government in Marshall Islands nuclear testing and the long-term consequences of Bravo. In a sense, the Marshall Islanders are the first victims of World War III. The parable of Half-Life is a true one that haunts our past, present, and future.

  Half-Life: A Parable for the Nuclear Age

  This compelling and beautifully crafted film reveals the effects of United States nuclear testing on the inhabitants of the Marshall Islands, tiny atolls in the mid-Pacific. The film combines declassified U.S. Defense Department archival footage of the Bravo Nuclear Test with contemporary interviews of the people of Rongelap. At least five hundred times more powerful than earlier tests, Bravo was detonated at Bikini on March 1, 1954. Inexplicably, the islanders living on Rongelap and Utirik Atolls were not evacuated as they had been in previous tests, even though Navy ships were vailable nearby. Fallout covered the ground two inchesdeep and children played excitedly in this first snow they had ever seen.

    His Hidden Presence

    vhs, 17 min., 1999
    This film was inspired by the title of a book which was loaned to me about spirituality and the "invisible" guiding hand of God in men's affairs. The "hidden presence" of the Almighty implies that we must look for Him, becaue He hides from us, thus compelling our search and eventual discovery, if we are persistent and if we have enough faith. This video investigates the ways of the world, particularly the ways in which human beings inflict pain on each other, how they deceive and betray each other, their love of death and violence, but most importantly, the ways in which we do not search for enlightenment, for engagement, for compassion.

Harry Hay joined the Communist Party in the early 1930s and participated in the San Francisco General Strike of 1934. In the mid-1950s he was called before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and around this time Harry started the Mattachine Society.

    How Do You Spell Murder?

    The New Jersey State Prison in Trenton is the oldest continuously operating prison in America. Constructed in 1831, this ornate Egyptian-style institution has been visited by Charles Dickens and Alexis de Tocqueville as an example of modern prison reform. Today, men are still residing in these original cells. New Jersey State Prison is now a maximum security prison for inmates serving long sentences. Half of the prisoners are convicted of murder, the average sentence is 50 years, and 75% of the inmates are illiterate. Yet many of these same men are achieving a measure of hope, a sense of personal freedom: they are finally learning how to read. HOW DO YOU SPELL MURDER? chronicles a year in the life of these illiterate prisoners and explores the powerful connection between illiteracy and crime.

    Human Remains

    30 minutes 16mm color/B&W 1998
    Human Remains is a haunting documentary which illustrates the banality of evil by creating intimate portraits of five of this centurys most reviled dictators. The film unveils the personal lives of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Francisco Franco and Mao Tse Tung. We learn the private and mundane details of their everyday lives -- their favorite foods, films, habits and sexual preferences. There is no mention of their public lives or of their place in history. The intentional omission of the horrors for which these men were responsible hovers over the film.
