Masonic Conspiracies

Tales of Freemasons’ evil deeds have captivated the public imagination since the 18th century. This documentary on the world’s most legendary secret society reveals where and how the conspiracy theories about devil worship, murder and political corruption began. The 1982 murder of an Italian banker; the grave robbery that deprived an anti-Masonic U.S. Attorney General of his skull; a 19th century hoax that confounded both the Masons and the Catholic Church: these are just a few of the tales that shed light on our ongoing fascination with Masonic conspiracies

Exorcism

Can evil spirits take control of human beings? This documentary examines the age-old belief in demonic possession, and introduces the viewer to present-day practitioners of exorcism, from a soft-spoken Spanish priest to a self-styled “shaman” in small-town Alberta. In many different cultures throughout history, there have been those charged with the responsibility of driving away demons. (The New Testament names exorcism as one of Jesus Christ’s miracles.) To psychiatrists and other skeptics, mental illness is the likely explanation for most reported cases of “possession.” But the belief persists. Pope John Paul II is known to have performed exorcisms, and in some Catholic countries there so much demand for the ritual that a Vatican-supported institute in Rome now offers training for exorcists. As long as fear and madness persist in the world, holy men (and women) will be called on cast out the evil forces that take possession of the human soul. Produced and directed by Paul St. Amand’.

The Houdini Code

Harry Houdini, the great escape artist, died on Halloween, 1926 of peritonitis from a ruptured appendix. In 1929, his widow Bess claimed that medium Arthur Ford had come to her with a message from beyond, in an unbreakable code known only to Houdini and herself. Was it proof, at last, that the living could speak to the dead? This documentary chronicles the extraordinary life of Harry Houdini – the son of an immigrant rabbi from Hungary who became a legendary magician – and recalls a strange, forgotten chapter of the Houdini saga that unfolded after his death.

Harry Houdini was traumatized by the loss of his beloved mother in 1913, and wished fervently to believe in the possibility of communication with the afterlife. But he was appalled by the trickery of self-styled psychic mediums and their exploitation of the grief-stricken. He dedicated himself to debunking such charlatans (a crusade that cost Houdini his friendship with Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle, an ardent believer in Spiritualism). When Bess proclaimed the message relayed by Arthur Ford to be genuine, it naturally caused a sensation. But was it really Houdini speaking from the grave? Or was his troubled widow taking part, wittingly or not, in a colossal fraud? And what of Houdini’s sudden death itself? Had his enemies set a trap from which not even the master magician could escape?.
