New Docu-Drama Films
Our docu-drama films, "We Just Want To Be Free", "Lost Children of Ukraine," "Threat of Tyranny," "Silence in Darkness, "Shadows of Lies," and "Reason for Treason" are in pre-production now. We're raising funds to hire researchers, writers, editors, and distributors for this project. We seek Supporters, Sponsors, Title Sponsors, Partners, Co-Producers, and Executive Producers.
See more details on these opportunities below.
The world order is under the threat of tyranny from the leaders of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and now, surprisingly, the United States of America! Leaders Putin, Xi Jinping, Khamenei, Kim Jong Un, and now Elon Musk and Donald Trump pose the greatest threat to world peace we have ever experienced since the reign of Hitler, especially considering their access to nuclear weapons and their dictator-like approach to a tyranny-identified grip on their people.
Webster defines tyranny as "A government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler." That now accurately describes these men.
These men have one chilling common denominator between them; they all want to expand their boundaries of territory, power, wealth, and control over the people they govern.
This docu-drama film will study and expose the similarities these men possess and ways to stop them before it is too late!
We invite you to join us as a partner, sponsor, advertiser, co-host, panelist, researcher, distributor, funder, Co-Producer, or Executive Producer of these docu-drama films.
"Silence in Darkness"
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
"We Just Want To Be Free"
War is the defense of hatred. It arises out of the desire of what someone else has, that another group or country wants. "Silence in Darkness" docu-drama portrays the toll the ongoing war has had on the people of Gaza. Our intention is not to take sides, because we feel both sides are to blame for many of the actions in this war, however, the genocide that is being forced on the people of Gaza is unforgivable. Our goal is simple: help us educate people worldwide and empower them to put enough pressure on the parties involved, find solutions to this war, and bring peace to the region. Please add your name to these projects in support. See the video trailer here.
"We Just Want To Be Free"
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
"We Just Want To Be Free"
Our latest doc, "We Just Want To Be Free," is a trailer for our upcoming documentaries on ending hatred, wars, and anger worldwide.
The war in Ukraine, Gaza, and other countries has dramatically increased the risk for men, women, and children worldwide. This docu-drama trailer also explores the fact that many children were stolen by Russia and forced to live away from their families. Many women and children worldwide are victims of sex slavery and trafficking. See our video,
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
"Lost Children of Ukraine" and the expanded version "Echoes of Hope" focus on Russia's abduction of children from Ukraine, many of whom have been secretly taken to Russia and hidden in homes. Ukrainian hackers have found some of those children and are exposing the Russians who have stolen and are keeping these children locked away, preparing them to enter the Russian army.
Ukraine puts the number at over 19,500 children who have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory without the consent of family or guardians during the war, calling the abductions a war crime that meets the U.N. treaty definition of genocide.
See a short video about these children affected by the war.
"Threat of Tyranny"
"Reason For Treason"
"Lost Children of Ukraine- Echoes of Hope"
Our docu-drama film, "Threat of Tyranny," is in pre-production now. The world order is under the threat of tyranny from the leaders of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and now, surprisingly, the United States of America! Leaders Putin, Xi Jinping, Khamenei, Kim Jong Un, and now Elon Musk and Donald Trump pose the greatest threat to world peace we have ever experienced since the reign of Hitler, especially considering their access to nuclear weapons and their dictator-like approach to a tyranny-identified grip on their people. Webster defines tyranny as, "A government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler."
"Shadows of Lies"
"Reason For Treason"
"Reason For Treason"
"Shadows of Lies" docu-drama trailer portrays the threat of tyranny posed by three men in the world today; Musk, Trump, and Putin. Together, they may be the three most dangerous men on Earth. Help us educate people worldwide and empower them to stand for freedom worldwide. Please add your name in support below. See the link to the video here. To view the lyrics, click here on YouTube.
"Reason For Treason"
"Reason For Treason"
"Reason For Treason"
Our docu-drama "Reason For Treason" focuses on President Trump's alarming allegiance to Russian President Putin. We believe he has and will continue to betray the American people. This film focuses on the movement for his removal as President of the United States Amendments of America, with the 14th and 25th Amendments as the vehicle, and the film will offer proof he is unfit for office. See his latest tactic; allowing the Russian news agency TASS to attend the briefing at the Oval office during his meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky where he steadfastly refused to support Ukraine, calling Zelensky a dictator and blaming him for starting the war with Russia! See the video trailer below below.

Docu-Drama Film
A docu-drama film differs from a TV show, as it has no internal commercials. Loosely based and inspired by true events, it usually has a deeper story to convey than a pure documentary or TV show. It is not a "pure documentary", in that it has an underlying story to be told. See an example: "When Will We Ever Learn".
