Disconnect (2012) - Official Trailer [HD]


There are 6 billion cell phones worldwide but what do we really know about the effects of this revolutionary technology? Many researchers insist that the radiation cell phones emit can cause brain tumors and infertility with long-term use. Others believe it is theoretically impossible. Disconnect is a feature-length documentary on cell phones and the possible ramifications of improper use.


Through extensive research and interviews with the world’s leading doctors, scientists, politicians, and industry innovators; director Kevin Kunze traces the rise of an unregulated industry and unveils the detrimental relationships that have debased corporate responsibility. The film includes interviews with experts from the World Health Organization, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Cellular Telecommunications Internet Association, and professors at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, USC, UCLA, UCSF, and UC Berkeley. The film features perspectives from those who shaped the telecom industry including Apple's founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Virgin Mobile’s Richard Branson, and the father of the first mobile phone, Martin Cooper. The documentary analyzes lobbying efforts to prevent precautionary legislation with accounts from President Bill Clinton, Vice-President Al Gore, Lt. Governor of California Gavin Newsom, Presidential candidate Ron Paul, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, and State Senators Mark Leno and Leland Yee.


The film also includes clips from Lady Gaga, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Brad Pitt, Beyonce Knowles, Daniel Craig, Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Levine, Jerry Seinfeld, Anderson Cooper, Conan O’Brien, Lenny Kravitz, Cameron Diaz, Orlando Bloom, Eva Longoria, Sanjay Gupta, Steve Aoki, Tim Ferriss, Lawrence Lessig, David-Servan Schreiber, Robert Nagourney, Stephen Sinatra, Shelby Lane, and Devra Davis.
