Flight from Darkness
Monday, April 7 at 9 pm
Percy Paul began his journey in a remote Dene community in northern Saskatchewan, a place where far too often alcohol and violence were close at hand. Despite these circumstances, he excelled in school and sports, eventually proving himself a world class distance runner and gold medallist. Within a few short years, Percy found himself at Princeton, working alongside one of the world's leading authorities on string theory, black holes, and quantum field theory. But all this changed when he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He believes that the disorder allows him access, through manic states, into creative thought patterns. The curse is the resulting depressions that endanger his life.

Are you frustrated with recurring symptoms in your body? Do you fully understand why your body may be expressing pain?
Many of us have been domesticated to believe that symptoms are bad and that anything we take from the outside to alleviate these sensations are good. The truth is that the majority of aches and pains are the effect of some other cause.

Call It Karma
Monday April 14 at 9 pm
Call It Karma is based on the life story of Gyalten Rinpoche, a Tibetan monk living in Vancouver, and Geoff Browne, an independent filmmaker. In 1995 Rinpoche's master asked him to escape Tibet and journey to the West in order to help the monks and people of his village. After a gruelling month of walking alone through the Himalayan Mountains, Rinpoche made it to Nepal. From Nepal he traveled to India and eventually arrived in Vancouver. Two years later, he and Geoff Browne travel back to the Rinpoche's home village for a joyous and emotional reunion.

Breaking Ranks
Monday, April 21 at 9 pm
Breaking Ranks is a moving documentary that examines the current phenomena of US soldiers seeking refuge in Canada as part of their resistance to the war effort in Iraq. With intimate access to four American military deserters, their lawyer and families, this film documents their experiences as they try to exercise their consciences amidst profound emotional, ethical and international consequences. Filmed over the course of the refugee process, this provocative film explores the meaning of duty through the powerful testimonies of these young soldiers. In so doing, Breaking Ranks poses challenging political, cultural and historical questions for Canadians and the world.

PUBLIC LECTURE with Caroline Markolin, Ph.D.
Together with an introduction into German New Medicine (GNM), this public lecture presents the discoveries of medical doctor Ryke Geerd Hamer, M.D., of the correlation between the emotional distress of ABANDONMENT and the development of certain kidney disorders, such as KIDNEY CANCER. Tied into the context of our evolution, GNM offers a new understanding of (sudden) WEIGHT GAIN – or difficulties losing weight - as being a natural biological response to feeling “like a fish out of water”. Dr. Hamer’s discoveries also explain why WATER RETENTION – as a result of an “existence conflict” or “hospitalization conflict” - can cause serious medical complications. LEARNING GNM EARLY IS YOUR ULTIMATE PREVENTIVE MEDICINE.

Healthcare 911: The Plight of Immigrant Medical Doctors
Monday, April 28 at 9 pm
It's no secret that Canada is in a health care crisis. With more and more layoffs, closed clinics and wards, and hospital overcrowdings, Canada is falling fast from its reputation as one of the best health care systems in the world – the public, in turn, is suffering. Hiding in our cities is part of the solution – immigrant medical doctors ready and willing to work. Some boasting years and years of specialization and practice in foreign countries, they are now filling menial, minimum-wage jobs instead of the role of doctors. Set against the backdrop of Canada's ailing health care system, Healthcare 911 profiles several of these foreign trained medical doctors trying desperately to get their credentials recognized and begin work in Canada as doctors. Their stories are told through the eyes of immigrant filmmaker Jiyar Gol, as he goes head to head with the College of Physicians and Surgeons and BC's Minister of Health looking for answers.
