			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span id="more-4456"></span>The documentaries above all deliver the same message: <strong>there may be serious, long-term health hazards from radiation emitted by cell towers, wireless base stations, cell phones, cordless phones (!), and other devices</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Full-Signal/172006015778?v=wall"><strong>Full Signal</strong></a> debuted this fall. The <a href="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=180448916871">trailer</a> calls wireless technology <strong>&#8220;the world&#8217;s largest biological experiment ever.&#8221;</strong> It  was <a href="http://myrtlebeachfilmfestival.com/">named Best Documentary at the Myrtle Beach International Film Festival</a>; and was featured at both the premier and closing (<a href="http://electromagnetichealth.org/electromagnetic-health-blog/full-signal-documentary-on-electromagnetic-pollution-premiers-at-santa-fe-film-festival/">due to popular demand</a>) of the <a href="http://santafe.bside.com/2009/films/fullsignal_santafe2009;jsessionid=D45AE7AF286A01798CB6C19F2C62D2A7">Santa Fe Film Festival</a>. The San Fernando Valley Sun published <a href="http://www.sanfernandosun.com/sanfernsun/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=4603&#038;Itemid=8">this review</a> last week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www1.nrk.no/nett-tv/klipp/428197"><strong>Radiant Day</strong></a> is a Norwegian documentary (with English subtitles) that calls into question <a href="http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs322/en/index.html">World Health Organization</a> and <a href="http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/cellpcs.html">U.S. standards</a> on safe levels of radiation exposure. It reveals that <strong>military and wireless industry personnel dominate scientific committees that set these standards</strong>, and that such questions are far from &#8220;settled&#8221; as many scientists are very concerned. Disturbing musical and visual effects throughout the video &#8216;portray&#8217; the invisible radioactive emissions from cell towers and wireless devices.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theconnextion.com/freespeechtv/freespeech_product.cfm?ProdAutoID=3239&#038;CatID=9&#038;MaxRows=25"><strong>Bad Reception</strong></a> covers a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJvJfgD2ZDI&#038;feature=related">San Francisco neighborhood&#8217;s fight to keep cell sites out of their neighborhood</a> in 2003, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXMOakKF2bg&#038;feature=related">County Supervisor Matt Gonzalez&#8217; anger at Sprint</a> over misleading data on its permit application, and residents&#8217; concerns that proliferation of cell sites was about gaining market share, not providing service. Producer Doug Loranger is one of the organizers of the <a href="http://www.cloutnow.org">Coalition for Local Oversight of Utility Technologies</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eon3.net/emr_protection/docs/public_exposure.html"><strong>Public Exposure</strong></a> dates from 2000, as cell phone use increased dramatically. Nine years ago (before universal wireless broadband became the goal!), the trailer warned wireless signals had increased background radiation 10,000 times. <strong>The issues from 2000, though, are very much the same today: industry&#8217;s claim there are no proven health effects, concerned scientists asking for common sense precautions, and individual activists and communities trying to sound the alarm.</strong> Two scientists featured in this video (<a href="http://www.sageassociates.net/cindysage.html">Cindy Sage</a> and <a href="http://www.emfacts.com/weblog/?p=979">Elizabeth Kelley</a>) continue today to advocate for protecting populations from wireless technology radiation.</p>
<p>A YouTube search will turn up several other videos on this subject.</p>
<p>For those with a preference for print information, the latest issue of <a href="http://www.prevention.com">Prevention Magazine</a> features <a href="http://www.prevention.com/health/health/healthy-lifestyle/is-dirty-electricity-making-you-sick/article/9e60d47569225210VgnVCM10000030281eac____">the dangers of dirty electricity (low-level radiation)</a>, and <a href="http://www.prevention.com/electroshocker/index.shtml">11 ways to protect yourself (4 of these involve cell phones)</a>.</p>
