Science: Behind Closed Doors

Scientists are people upon whose integrity we depend. They are the high priests of modern society, granted a virtual hands-off policy by the public to advance the future of civilization.

No other academics are so highly venerated or rewarded. Yet science is also ruthlessly competitive. In the rush to produce results are scientists tempted to cheat?

Has the reality of science fraud become common? This revealing film explores the degree to which this expediency has corrupted science and the ways in which the scientific method can expose those who commit it.

In the last thirty years global demand for food has doubled. In a race to feed the planet, scientists have discovered how to manipulate DNA, the blueprint of life, and produce what they claim are stronger, more disease-resistant crops.

However, fears that Genetically Modified Food may not be safe for humans or the environment has sparked violent protest. Are we participating in a dangerous global nutritional experiment?

This informative film helps the viewer decide if the production of genetically modified food is a panacea for world hunger or a global poison

Are we capable of cloning humans and if so should we? This fascinating one-hour documentary examines the full ramifications of this explosive controversy and explores exactly what cloning is.

It investigates which animals have already been cloned and whether this technology can be refined to clone humans.

The tangled ethical and technical issues surrounding cloning are fully explored by leading practitioners and thinkers in the field, including research scientists, theologians and lawyers.

Essential viewing for anyone interested in the forefront of human progress.

Recent advances in biotechnology have given humans God-like powers over nature.

Animals can now be given entirely new characteristics by transferring the genes of one species into another.

Using superb 3D animation and interviews from the world?s leading experts, the film explores both the assets and dangers of this highly controversial technology.

It shows how animals can be grown faster and bigger and it also exposes how environmental, health and safety issues have been completely ignored in the headlong pursuit of creating a new animal species.

Presented by James Doohan, (" Scotty" on Star Trek) with Sir Arthur C. Clark (author - 2001 A Space Odyssey, inventor of the communications satellite).

What happened to the claim that Cold Fusion would be the ultimate renewable energy source?

This carefully crafted film examines the controversy following the discovery of Cold Fusion - a process by which abundant energy can be generated from simple materials.

Despite the 'war on cold fusion' waged by scientists and the media, Cold Fusion could still possibly become a practical reality.

By presenting interviews with scientists involved in its discovery the viewer is invited to decide whether Cold Fusion will become the greatest energy revolution of the 21st century.

Based on advances in technology created by Nikola Tesla over a century ago, HAARP - High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project - is a controversial high frequency radio transmitter operated by the US military which beams high level energy into the Earth's upper atmosphere.

Ostensibly for ionospheric research, HAARP can also be used to locate hidden oil reserves and missile silos around the world.

However, critics of HAARP say it could blow a massive hole in the upper atmosphere as well as disrupt the subtle magnetic energies of all life on Earth.
