Poisoning Paradise wins UK award

Poisoning Paradise wins UK award
The Graf Boys

Poisoning Paradise, the Skeptic Society's Bent Spoon winner from 2009, has just won the best film award in the Environmental & Ecology International category at the Heart of England Film Festival in the UK. Poisoning Paradise was one of six international films nominated for the award.

Clyde Graf said: "This win is a strong endorsement for Poisoning Paradise. It seems it will take international intervention before the poisoning of our forests is properly addressed, and more responsible methods of pest management are employed."

The Graf brothers are now working on the 3rd and final chapter in their trilogy of 1080 documentaries, which focuses on safer, more community-friendly alternatives to the aerial distribution of 1080 poison.

"We are still hoping national TV will play Poisoning Paradise, allow the public of New Zealand to become better informed, and make up their own mind about the reckless use of inhumane toxins." said Steve Graf.

A video trailer of Poisoning Paradise can be viewed at www.thegrafboys.org. Ends.
