Into Eternity.

In an age of nuclear power we tend to forget it comes with a cost, that cost is nuclear waste, and today there is plenty of it on this revolving planet. Not to mention our ever increasing hunger for energy and economic growth we are only creating more and more problems our future generations will have to burden with.
'Into Eternity' is a fantastic, inspiring and mind boggling documentary about this issue at hand, the safety of nuclear storage. an issue not many know anything of, the movie is soft in it's kind but disturbing in it's vague conclusion, it has an abstract feel to a very serious matter, it's very documented and a very beautiful way of displaying a man made structure of immanence magnitude. i highly recommend it.

Synopsis
INTO ETERNITY - SYNOPSIS

Documentary 2009, 75 min, HD 16:9
Every day, the world over, large amounts of high-level radioactive waste created by nuclear power plants is placed in interim storages, which are vulnerable to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and to societal changes. In Finland the world's first permanent repository is being hewn out of solid rock - a huge system of underground tunnels - that must last 100,000 years as this is how long the waste remains hazardous.

Once the waste has been deposited and the repository is full, the facility is to be sealed off and never opened again. Or so we hope, but can we ensure that? And how is it possible to warn our descendants of the deadly waste we left behind? How do we prevent them from thinking they have found the pyramids of our time, mystical burial grounds, hidden treasures? Which languages and signs will they understand? And if they understand, will they respect our instructions? While gigantic monster machines dig deeper and deeper into the dark, experts above ground strive to find solutions to this crucially important radioactive waste issue to secure mankind and all species on planet Earth now and in the near and very distant future.

Captivating, wondrous and extremely frightening, this feature documentary takes viewers on a journey never seen before into the underworld and into the future


DIRECTOR'S NOTE

I am interested in the areas of documentary filmmaking where additional reality is created. By this I mean, that I do not think reality constitutes a fixed entity which accordingly can be documented - revealed - in this or that respect. Instead, I suspect reality to be dependent on and susceptible to the nature of it's interpretation. I am in other words interested in the potentials and requirements of how reality can be - and is - interpreted.

The ONKALO project of creating the worlds first final nuclear waste facility capable of lasting at least 100 000 years, transgresses both in construction and on a philosophical level all previous human endeavours. It represents something new. And as such I suspect it to be emblematic of our time - and it a strange way out of time, a unique vantagepoint for any documentary.

ZEITGEIST: MOVING FORWARD

Once again, a documentary that will open and shake your awareness to a point where a change in your personal acceptance and behavior will be (if not already) needed.
As you know for many years now I have been swimming in underground circles of media who constantly deliver powerful and moving articles about the world we live in, the Zeitgeist series is one of them, I have seen the first part when it just came out and followed the second and now the third as they move around the system, penetrating our core and shake our perspectives, I recommend it, to anyone who looks at our society with a big question mark above it!



here is the second part:



and the first:

I'm swimming in tears.

O my sweet lord.
look, I am a sensitive spirit and it's been many years now since I started to look straight in the face of issues I never thought I would care when I was younger.
for the past decade I decided to change my life from been an ignorant little prick to an active human being with a positive attitude and a caring heart, this is taking me every minute of my time here on earth and I am not even close to be the man I dream to be or look in the mirror.
I care about many issues which most of the people around me simply look the other way, it breaks my heart on a daily basis to see how we as a collective amazing species can reach such a high level of self destruct, not to mention the globule environmental damage we are creating with pretty much every action we ignorantly do.

there isn't a day I don't cry for one rezone or another, mostly from shock and embracement of what I know and that I am only one here trying to simply, be good.

If you notice that some of my posts in this blog contain video clips about the world we live in, they are painful, shocking and very personal sides of truth reflected in different forms of self expression thru media, they are very important to me and many others they don't like the way things are going on this beautiful blue planet which either way you look at it, is it and always be our only home.

I notice that ignorance is a plague among us and many (just like myself many years ago) are blind by the main stream current of the secret agendas of the money manipulators. I for one cannot take it or hold my mouth and eyes closed pretending things just don't happen and that everything is going to be alright...i wont be able to live with myself knowing I know something and didn't do anything about it, to me, that is pissing into karmas eye! it will definitely come back to hunt me...i am sure about it.

so, again, as you can I am emotional about this, I am human under these masks, I am a soul that vibrates, I care. I know one a small percentage will care like I do or even be moved by the scenes I see in my mind, I know little about a lot and I spend time everyday to find out more and more about the truth and the masks covering it. I know no one will read this (crossing fingers hard!) or care about it but I cant just simply not write about it. If the people who did all those movies, or wrote those books, or songs or made their most power efforts to tell the world what they saw and experience would just simple give up then we will all be lost in an ocean of our own confusion, we will never learn about the world and the people in it, we will lost, blind...

so here I am again trying to share something.
I just saw a documentary titled 'the cove', it's a shocking powerful film, here is a little info about it: The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises in Taiji, Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening as the Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. The focus of the Social Action Campaign for The Cove is to create worldwide awareness of this annual practice as well as the dangers of eating seafood contaminated with mercury and to pressure those in power to put an end to the slaughter.

After seeing this I had to write what you just had read, watch this movie if you can. I know you are a very busy person but I am sure even you can take a minute to think about your daily actions and how they ripple your home and environment.
