Have you ever wondered what was wrong with George W. Bush when he was our president? Or why so many U.S. soldiers---roughly 8,000 in 2013--commit suicide each year? You're going to find out the answers to those questions and many more when you watch WarX2. Unlike any documentary you've seen before, the groundbreaking doc WarX2 sheds light on evil ghosts and spirits--known as jinn---that possess many people ranging from politicians to the public all around the world. Anyone can be possessed by a jinni. Director Bernie Olaf includes a wide range of interviews that makes the film quite thorough and well-researched: witch doctors, soldiers, victims of possessions and those who witnessed the possessions all provide their own perspectives. You'll not only learn about how and why jinn possess a human being, but also about how exactly to prevent the possession and to get rid of it. Avoiding sad thoughts, being honest and not killing your fellow man are a few of the ways to avoid letting a jinn possess you. While WarX2 does provide you with a lot of information, many of it probably new, bold and shocking, it also repeats key information, i.e. about how important it is to believe in God and to use Him to help ward off jinn. In turn, anyone can be able to follow and comprehend the doc's content without getting confused. Whether you believe in evil spirits or not doesn't matter; what matters is that you're not myopic and that you grasp that there are many sides to a coin other than its front and back: there are the sides, the ridges, the sides of the ridges, etc. WarX2 bravely shows you the sides of the coin that are rarely explored and that deserve to be discussed, debated and analyzed further. It may not give naysayers hard, conclusive evidence per se, but it's at least an eye-opening, provocative stepping stone for debate and critical thinking---and it might even save your life! This is the kind of documentary that you'll be talking about for weeks. The Strasson Group releases WarX2 at Tower City Cinemas in Cleveland, OH. Director Amy Berg's new doc, Prophet's Prey, about the abusive, manipulative and evil former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Warren Jeffs, who's currently incarcerated for sexual assault. He's a malignant narcissist and psychopath, and even in prison, he shows no remorse by constantly pleading the 5th Amendment. Berg does a great job of showing testimonial evidence of Jeffs' crimes by interviewing his victims, young girls whom he brainwashed, married and abused. Many of them, not surprisingly, are afraid to speak out. The victims' accounts are heartbreaking while the fact that Jeffs was enabled to continue his abuse for so many years feels enraging. Berg even interviews Jeffs' nephew, Brent, and explores how Jeffs rose to power in the church. Jeffs' father, Rulon, wasn't that much better than him and essentially passed his evils down to his son--as the saying "like father, like son." The fact that Warren Jeffs not only manipulated the girls and boys in his church, but also the police in his town is quite horrifying--his church practically owned all of the town, so his victims had no where to turn to for support. Bravo to Berg for provide Jeffs' victims with a way to bravely share their traumatic experiences. Hopefully, this powerful doc will encourage more victims to speak out. It would make for a great double feature with Berg's recent exposé about sexual abuse in the Hollywood industry, An Open Secret. Prophets Prey opens at IFC Center via Showtime before debuting on Showtime on October 10th.
