18/8/10 POISONING PARADISE TAKES OUT 2010 UK FILM AWARD Poisoning Paradise, the Skeptic Society's Bent Spoon winner from 2009, has just won the best film award in the Environmental & Ecology International category at the Heart of England Film Festival in the UK. Poisoning Paradise was one of six international films nominated for the award. Thanks to all those involved with making PP, and to all the brave folk that contributed with testimonies, evidence, and expertise. 17/1/10 POISONING PARADISE IS HEADING OVERSEAS! This excellent documentary, accepted for several 2010 International Film Festivals has been nominated for an award in the division of Best International Environment & Ecology Film in the Swansea Film Festival. This morning we heard the news that Poisoning Paradise has been selected for a prestigious UK film festival, Swansea Bay Film Festival, which runs in the month of May, and we hope there are more to come. So, what does this mean for New Zealand's image, its industry, its tourism, its economy, its future??? As long as this country continues to allow the contamination, the cruelty, and this deceitful practice to continue, we deserve what we reap. For those who wish to remain quiet, for fear of retribution, and allow this environmental disaster to continue - you are supporting this New Zealand ecocide. For those who have an equal right to support the poor science that says that this deadly toxin 1080 (that is capable of killing everything that breathes air), can sustain life in over 50,000 multi cellular organisms, without harm, I pray for your ignorance... Thanks to you all, for your support. Clyde Graf |
