China Blue
Premieres on Knowledge Network Monday, February 11 at 9 p.m.
China Blue takes viewers inside a blue jeans factory in southern China, where teenage workers struggle to survive harsh and unlawful working conditions. Tensions in the factory run high, so when the factory owner strikes a deal with a Western client and demands around-the-clock production to meet the deadline, a confrontation becomes inevitable. Shot clandestinely in China, under difficult conditions, this is a deep-access account of what both China and the international retail companies don’t want us to see — how the clothes we buy are actually made.
Join us for this FREE talk 7-9 PM by Dr. Tessler, a naturopathic physician specializing in Classical Homeopathy and regenerative nutrition, and President of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians. At Mount Pleasant Neighborhood House, 800 E. Broadway (1 blk east of Fraser) in Vancouver.

Preeminent Vancouver Expert in Urban Stress and Integrated Health Psychology, Heron Free, M.Ed. RCC (www.heronfree.com) leads a free monthly workshop on personal happiness and meditation on the 3rd Thursday of every month.
Together with an introduction into German New Medicine, this GNM Special Topic Presentation covers the medical findings of Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, MD, about the correlation between “SELF-DEVALUATION” and the development of OSTEOPOROSIS, ARTHRITIS, or BONE CANCER (often triggered by a diagnosis or prognosis shock!). Dr. Hamer’s research explains why the standard theory that osteoporosis is caused by estrogen deficiency – and therefore afflicts primarily postmenopausal women - can no longer be maintained. With respect to arthritis, the lecture addresses questions like: why does the condition involve a very particular joint, e.g. the hand(s), knee(s), shoulder(s), or hip(s); why does it affect the right or left side of the body (or both); what could be done to stop or to reverse the ‘chronic’ process? One of the many highlights of Dr. Hamer’s medical research is his discovery that LEUKEMIA is not, as presumed, a harmful “cancer of the blood” but rather a very natural process during the healing phase of bone cancer. The presentation emphasizes the immeasurable VALUE OF GNM AS A PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.

Manufactured Landscapes
Premieres on Knowledge Network Monday, February 25 at 9 p.m.
Manufactured Landscapes is a feature length documentary on the world and work of internationally renowned Canadian artist Edward Burtynsky.

Manufactured Landscapes follows Burtynsky to China as he travels the country photographing the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. Sites such as the Three Gorges Dam, which is bigger by 50% than any other dam in the world and has displaced over a million people, factory floors over a kilometre long, and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai’s urban renewal are all subjects for his lens.
