End of Phase 1 and now it is Lights…Camera…aaaaaaand long production days!

October 22nd, 2009
My talk with Avi led to similar talks with a number of different scientists, lawyers and government representatives, and I finally had the full story.

I decided on a style…I would film all my interviews outdoors in natural light…with cell towers in the background (where possible)…after all this is a film about cell towers, and it is a film about people…and you don’t find either of those in people’s living rooms or offices.

And so September 1st 2008, I met up with Dr. Zamir Shalita who has been doing research on the dangers of Electro-Magnetic Radiation, and who has quite vocally called for a strong reduction in emission levels…and together we went to Issifya, an Arab village in the North of Israel.

Issifya is beautifully located in the Carmel Mountains overlooking an extremely large part of the country. This made it an ideal place to install military, maritime, commercial and cellular towers over the years, and people started to get ill.

What is fascinating about this village, is that it is now free of cell towers (other than a few sneaky people who hide them in their homes trying to make some easy money).
