Do you believe in the Supernatural, Magic, Spirits or Shaman? 

Well, Andre Malby, the healer with special supernatural powers, had a medical doctor son named Mathu who wasn't so sure and became estranged from his father.

A woman who believes Malby healed her wants Mathu to attend a sort of tribute gathering to show appreciation for Malby, who has already passed by this time, many years later.

Mathu does not want to travel to meet with the woman and ignores the request for a while before finally accepting the journey. How do you know what's a lie,  manipulation, suggestion, or a real healing process that is something science can't measure?

Mathu doesn't become a believer at the end of his voyage, but he does reconcile the resentment he felt towards his father over his lifetime.

This film wasn't what I had expected, but it was an interesting look at believers, faith, and skeptics who want scientific proof before they can believe.

Shamed- A Hot Docs Review

SHAMED

By MATT GALLAGHER

Running Time: 85 minutes

How do you know when a person goes from being someone who wants to right an injustice to vigilantism and breaking the law?

Jason Nassr, the youtube host of “Creeper Hunter” TV, from Windsor, Ontario turned into that guy.

Described as a narcissist in the film, he does not have any remorse for ruining the lives of the families of at least 5 men.

Jason would set out to lure men online with fake profiles of young girls or boys and then meet up with them in a gotcha style and then posting to his Youtube show to out the person, whether the person actually did anything or not, Jason put it out to the universe to destroy that mans life. Five of these men ended up dying of suicide because their lives were ruined.

Their families left seeking justice for the loss of their loved ones. Jason was charged in connection to these deaths for luring and provoking them.

When he was charged the videos were removed from his online channel but due to our lax court system he ended up getting a very light slap on the wrist. Jason always insisting that he did nothing wrong and they deserved it and he helped take them out of society and away from harming anyone even though none of them actually had any previous alleged allegations or charges.

Jason is an arrogant and rude and self righteous individual who thinks the court system fails and in his case I guess it did, it failed to give him a sentence that would affect his life the way he did to others. He is out of jail on home arrest while the men are dead and gone forever.

Where is the line drawn?
