HOT POTATOES - AN ATOMIC TALE

Hot Potatoes - An Atomic Tale is a documentary film told from the personal perspective of Jerry Sears, a U.S Navy veteran, also known as Atomic Vets.
In 1958 Jerry was on picket duty, securing the parameter area of the atomic bomb test series in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. By his 18th birthday, Jerry had witnessed, at close range, over 20 atomic bomb tests. Jerry worked in the kitchens and his job was to peel the potatoes for the three meals a day.
On discovering that the potatoes were radiated from the bomb tests, he was ordered to not waste a single potato
and to put them out in the food hall.

Some 60 years after the bomb tests, Jerry finally tells his atomic tale on camera, describing the effects perpetrated on the peoples and lands of the Marshall Islands as well as the United States servicemen who were on duty.

BETTY & JOHNNY THUNDER - A PANTHER STORY

 In the world of high-stakes theft, the most elusive criminals aren't human. Betty and Johnny Thunder are two real, majestic black panthers who have turned the concrete jungles of the world’s fashion capitals into their personal hunting grounds. They don’t steal for profit; they steal because they are drawn to the light and prestige of the world’s most guarded stones. 
Operating with feline indifference to human law, they move through the shadows of the "Big Four" cities, leaving the global police force baffled by "impossible" crimes where no fingerprints are found—only the scent of the wild.
