Unloved: Huronia's Forgotten Children
For most of her early life, filmmaker Barri Cohen knew her immediate family to consist of her parents, two brothers and half-sister. But one day, in a moment of emotional disclosure, her father revealed the existence of two more siblings. Cohen never knew her half-brothers Alfred and Louis, who were dropped off as toddlers at the Huronia Regional Centre, a now-closed hospital and home for children with developmental disabilities. In the wake of a successful class-action lawsuit, Cohen is finally able "to peel back the half-truths and secrets" around her two now-deceased siblings. Speaking to the families and survivors of the centre, she pieces together the story of her brothers' lives through shocking stories of abuse, humiliation and trauma.

Died Suddenly
This documentary is not about Blood Clots, but instead, it is about a new White Fibrous Structure that is showing up in the veins of the dead, that has never been seen in dead bodies before middle to late 2021 after the COVID-19 Vaccines came out in December of 2020. Independent embalmers are interviewed, and they show their findings. They are the experts with lots of embalming experience. These White Fibrous Structures are not detectable till after death, so most deaths are being reported as caused by something else, but this appears to be the real cause of most deaths, and it is increasing at an alarming rate. The CDC and HHS refuse to investigate because they are responsible, making them a conflict of interest, and most embalmers were ordered to get injected, making them compromised. In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
