FIRE ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD.

The Chushi Gangdruk Story / Tibet’s Resistance Army of Liberation.

by, Howard Günter Fass

This documentary took three long years of careful research and I am grateful to be able to finally put this together and present it now.

The name “Chushi Gangdruk” means in Tibetan, Four Rivers, Six Ranges, Chushi Gangdruk, the ancient poetic name for the whole of Kham and Amdo, the great eastern provinces of Tibet from which so many of the movement’s founders came.

It was a name that carried weight; these were the heartlands of Tibetan civilization, regions of fierce warriors and devout monks, of turquoise lakes and grasslands that stretched to the horizon under skies of impossible blue. And it was from these eastern regions that the earliest reports of Chinese genocide first emerged.

This is the story of the Tibetan peoples brave resistance to China's invasion, occupation and genocide.

TIBET WILL BE FREE!

WOMAN ON A TRAIN

My own version of a music video homage to the wonderful 1980's masterpiece "Woman on a train" by The Fixx.

Here I explore visual artistic themes of deep seated dreams, secret inner worlds, seduction and irresistible forces.

I do not own any rights to this music and this is my own homage to this great band and their wonderful song.

Special thanks to Cristina Marks and Douglas Edmonds and the city of my birth, New York.

EZ-ID, STOPPING THE BAD GUYS

When a child goes missing or a crime unfolds, witnesses often catch only a fleeting glimpse of a vehicle, and in those critical seconds, today’s license plates fail us. Confusing characters, poor visibility, and formats never designed for human memory mean vital information is lost when it matters most.

This documentary explores EZ-ID, an innovative license plate format engineered around how the human mind actually perceives and recalls information. Discover how smarter vehicle identification could give witnesses, law enforcement, and AMBER Alert systems the edge they need to protect children and society’s most vulnerable.

Because when a life is on the line, every second counts.

Watch, share, and join the movement for smarter vehicle identification.

Every second counts when a child goes missing. Every detail matters when a predator is on the move.

EZ-ID: Eyes on the Road takes you inside a groundbreaking innovation in American public safety; the EZ-ID license plate format system. This powerful documentary reveals how a simple but revolutionary change to the way we read and report license plates could transform the way law enforcement responds to the most urgent and heartbreaking crimes of our time.

THE KITTY GENOVESE STORY

She was someone’s daughter. Someone’s friend. She was someone who laughed and worked and worried about the same things the rest of us worry about. She was, in every measure that matters, a someone and a neighbor to us all.

And yet, or so the story went, no one came to help her in her most dire moment of need. That detail, that shattering, damning detail, was about to become one of the most famous and most consequential facts in the history of American public life.

This documentary goes deep to discovery the truth and meaning here to a tragedy that shook America to its core leaving ripples that have yet to fade all these years later.

This film is dedicated to the life and memory of Kitty Genovese.

This film is also dedicated to Sophia Farrar, Kitty's friend and loving neighbor, who at great personal risk held her in her arms and was with her during her final last moments that fateful night.

EZ-ID, BY THE NUMBERS

The EZ-ID system proposes a fundamentally different approach, one grounded not merely in administrative convenience, but in neuroscience, combinatorial mathematics, and the practical demands of modern civic life. It asks a deceptively simple question: What if a license plate were designed around the capabilities and limitations of the human mind, rather than the arbitrary storage conventions of a database? The answer, as this documentary will demonstrate, is both mathematically sufficient and cognitively superior.

EZ-ID, BOSTON 2005

What you are about to see is not simply archival footage, its evidence of a fight for children’s lives that has spanned decades.

These images, captured in Boston in 2005, bear witness to the earliest effort to bring EZ-ID to life through Massachusetts legislation, a struggle born not from politics, but from heartbreak and urgency to use common sense innovation to save lives and help protect our most vulnerable.

EZ-ID is a revolutionary automobile license plate identification system designed to make vehicle identification faster, clearer, and more reliable for law enforcement, witnesses, and the public, giving every person on the street a fighting chance to read, remember, and report a plate number in a moment of crisis.

In the case of child abduction and human trafficking, every moment is critical. Nearly every case like this involves a vehicle; a car that carries its victim away from safety and, far too often, toward a fate no family should ever have to know.

When a child is taken and the first 24 hours pass without rescue, statistics tell a devastating truth: the odds of survival fall below ten percent.

EZ-ID exists to change all that. It exists to give a stranger on a sidewalk, a driver at an intersection, a terrified witness the ability to read that plate, clearly, instantly, and correctly and hand to law enforcement the single greatest lead to bringing a child back home; the license plate number.

What follows is a testament to years of determination, of champions who refused to let this idea die, and of a simple, powerful conviction: that a better license plate can save lives and help keep our communities safe.

RINSE AND REPEAT

A short art film that confronts the quiet erosion of meaning within corporate America, where routine replaces purpose and ambition is funneled into tight confined cubical systems that rarely reward the average worker with stability or fulfillment. Through stark visuals and cyclical narrative structure, the film explores a modern existence defined by brute repetition; wake, work, consume, repeat - detached from creativity, individuality, and any lasting sense of accomplishment. It reflects a growing dissonance between what people are told to pursue and what they actually experience.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid so potent that just a few tiny milligrams can be fatal and it’s driving an unprecedented wave of overdose deaths across the United States.

This documentary explains what fentanyl is, why it’s being mixed into counterfeit pills and street drugs, and what it does inside the human body: how it rapidly overwhelms the brain’s opioid receptors, slows breathing, and can stop respiration before help arrives. Through clear medical insight and in-depth reporting, we unpack why fentanyl is uniquely dangerous, its extreme potency, unpredictable dosing, and the razor-thin line between intoxication and death.

The Cathars were one of the most controversial religious movements in medieval Europe.

Flourishing mainly in southern France during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they represented a profound challenge to the authority and theology of the dominant medieval Catholic Church. Cathar beliefs, which diverged sharply from the rest of orthodox Christianity, led to a brutal campaign of persecution that ultimately resulted in their total extermination. The story of the Cathars is not only about theology but also about power, politics, and the struggle for religious authority in medieval Europe.
