Project Detail

A Dark Refletion

Synopsis

A journalist is married to a suspended air traffic controller who cannot understand how a serious flight safety incident has occurred on his shift.
When he is re-instated without an investigation, her award-winning
investigative journalistic abilities trigger a greater interest in the incident.
As her investigation progresses, she discovers the incredible facts
passengers know nothing about, a trail of evidence that dates back to 1954 confirming her greatest fears: exposure to contaminated air on aircraft is killing people and compromising flight safety.
The stakes are high and she is willing to risk everything on the fact she is right. The aviation industry must respond, but how far will they go?

** The film is generally based around the ongoing serious health and flight safety issues, which are occurring around the world on commercial aircraft, as a consequence of exposure to contaminated air.

American 965 American 965

Director: Tristan Loraine

Year: 2021

The film investigates the 20 December 1995 tragic loss of American Airlines flight 965 from Miami to Cali, Colombia. The plane crashed whilst on approach, killing 159 people onboard. Only four passengers and a dog survived the crash.<br /> <br /> The accident investigators of the time concluded the Boeing 757 accident was primarily caused by pilot error. Why two of American Airlines most experienced pilots actually made the errors they did that night, that question, was never been fully investigated until now.<br /> <br /> AMERICAN 965 looks at evidence the investigators never considered and flight safety critical evidence the aviation industry knew but was not brought to the investigators attention. Through extensive research and interviews with family members, survivors, air accident investigators and other experts, as well as a never seen before complete 3D recreation of the accident, Loraine offers a plausible new possible cause for why this tragic accident occurred. The film leaves us asking why did the aviation industry never reveal to investigators key information they knew. Information every passenger should know.<br /> <br /> Directed and produced by Captain Tristan Loraine, a former British Airways Boeing 757 Captain and union Health &amp; Safety representative, the film comes after nearly 20 years of research by the director.
