A shocking expose of Western governments' love affair with torture. In the 1950s Montreal Scottish born psychiatrist Dr Ewen Cameron experimented on his unwitting patients. His techniques included sensory deprivation, forced comas and LSD injections, covertly funded by the Canadian Government and the CIA. Since then his techniques have been used in Northern Ireland, Guantánamo and 27 other countries. 'Do No Harm' includes extraordinary first hand testimony from Guantanamo Bay survivors, Hooded Men from Northern Ireland, senior American psychologists and military personnel. This documentary shows how the collusion of doctors to aid and abet torture began in the 1950s and continues to this day. Interviewees include: former Chief Investigator for al Qaeda Mark Fallon; US Army General Stephen Xenakis; Guantanemo detainees Mohamedou Ould Slahi and Moazzam Begg; and Dr. Steven Reisner who blew the whistle on the collusion between psychologists and the CIA. In Belfast we film with Hooded Men Francis McGuigan, Liam Shannon and Brian Turley, as the European Court of Human Rights decides whether to rule in their favour and redraw the boundaries on what is legally defined as torture.

Caught between her indigenous Buryat roots—where art is a shamanic window between worlds—and a Western market that treats culture as a commodity, artist Yuma Radne constructs a monumental canvas to confront the psychological distortions of colonization at the edge of an irreversible era. "Either you make art, or you suffer. It’s like a curse." For painter Yuma Radne, the act of creation is not an aesthetic choice, but an ancestral code carried in the blood. Moving from a remote Siberian village to the high-stakes European art world, Yuma finds herself navigating a surreal landscape where sacred cultural identity is rapidly converted into a luxury product. Through intimate studio dialogues and raw philosophical reflections, the film captures the gruelling physical and mental labour behind her graduation masterpiece, The End of Times. Centred around a gargantuan erupting booze (a traditional Buryat dumpling) mutated into an absurd, monumental symbol of a colonised and erased national identity, the film transcends a typical artist portrait. It becomes a vital, cosmic meditation on why humanity continues to create art in the face of systemic collapse—and a powerful testament to an indigenous culture refusing to be reduced to a souvenir.
