I LIVED WITH A KILLER

20 X 1 HR

We see their lives portrayed in movies, and sometimes we’ll get a glimpse of them when a father, brother or son is sent to jail. But rarely, if ever, do you hear them speak or get a look into their lives. That’s until now...for the first time ever; get ready to meet those who had a murderer in the family.

I Lived With A Killer is a new docu-series with unprecedented access into the inside stories of what it was like to live with and then find out you had a murderer in the family. In each episode of I Lived With A Killer we profile the crimes of infamous and notorious murders, and the family members who were unaware they were actually living with a murderer. We see the media frenzy around the unsolved crime and take viewers through the twists and turns of the investigations. At the center of each episode, as the murder investigation unravels, we experience the shock of the family member.

Our subjects are the wives, sons, and daughters of someone who has committed the most notorious of horrors – murder. Each episode interweaves the unfettered inside view of an insular and emotional family with the back-story of infamous homicides. We delve into the moment of truth when the family is then broken in the most shocking of ways.

BRIDGING BORDERS

12 X 1/2 HR

People helping people.

In the past two years, Canada has welcomed over 45,000 refugees. While many have arrived through government agencies, thousands have been welcomed through private sponsorship- a program that is uniquely Canadian and and one that has quickly become an inspiration around the world. In Canada’s private sponsorship model, groups of Canadians band together to truly make a difference. They help overseas refugees make their way to Canada and help them adjust to a new life in a new land. Private sponsorship is about people helping people across cultures and around the globe.

Borderless is an observational documentary TV series by Wavelength Entertainment that will showcase the inspirational stories that arise from this uniquely Canadian initiative. The series will begin by following the dedicated staff of the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in Saskatoon, a faith-based organization that helps facilitate private sponsorships. The MCC provides guidance and connects willing sponsors with overseas refugees. In each episode, we will meet a different group of Canadians who have come together and approached the MCC, hoping to make a difference. We will follow their own journey, one that involves organizing, fundraising, and finding a suitable home for the sponsored family to live in. We will follow their initial meeting at the airport when the refugees finally land in Canada, an anxious and emotional day for everyone involved. We will learn of the newcomers' own history and journey. In the days and weeks that follow, their sponsors try to meet their needs and show them the basics of life in Canada. It can be a challenging and rewarding time. Private sponsors are responsible for helping the former refugees adjust and gain independence by the end of their first year in Canada. Most often, it becomes a deep cross-cultural relationship that lasts much longer than that.

Each episode of Borderless will highlight a different group of sponsors and refugees brought together with the help of the MCC. The series itself aims to make a difference by going beyond the news headlines of the refugee crisis to inspire, educate, and entertain, while at the same time showcasing and spreading the word about Canada's life-changing refugee sponsorship program that has become a role model around the globe.

GENIUS-FACTORY

1 X 90MIN

Meet the children of a super race.

Genius Factory is a feature documentary that is sure to shock and anger.

It is a powerful, never before told story of a mad billionaire with god-like delusions, who tried to create a super-race with the hopes of saving humanity. He felt that unintelligent people were breeding too often and smart people weren't breeding enough, so he decided to do something about it. Today, 30 years later, the children of his Nazi-like eugenics experiment walk the streets of America as adults. These super babies seem normal enough; they have careers and they are starting their own families.

For those who know their secret, there is a hidden struggle to understand who they are and why they came to be. They struggle to understand if the Genius Factory rewarded them, or condemned them. What happened at the Genius Factory is known as the greatest genetic experiment in human history and we've yet to find out the results. The founder is dead, the sperm bank is closed, and the records were burned. But now, for the first time, people who worked at the bank are ready to talk, the genius children are going to meet each other and find out who their fathers are. Never has there been an opportunity to see if playing God actually worked, and never before has nature vs nurture ever been tested like this.
