Do Cell Phone Towers Cause Cancer?

A controversial new documentary called Full Signal is about to debut. I helped shoot several interviews with leading experts and scientists for this film. Full Signal tackles issues that only a select number of brilliant minds are willing to talk about: the long-term consequences of cell phone use and cell phone towers on humans.

Debates on the subject have ranged from scientific circles to the mass media to courts of law. It's also becoming increasingly political as a number of studies connect medical ailments, from dizziness to tumors, to cellular technology.

Local public health physician and Professor, Dr. David Carpenter has been a leading voice on the subject of EMF and high voltage power lines. We filmed him on location in his office and atop the Helderbergs last November.

Following that we drove to Connecticut and sat with award-winning author B. Blake Levitt who spoke ad nauseum about the negative impacts and hazards of EMF on the environment.

And, of course, we found plenty of activists in NYC to discuss the legitimate fears of living so close to so many powerful towers.

My Producer/Reporter, Talal Jabari is a Palestinian/American living in East Jerusalem. He traveled extensively in 8 countries to examine the contradictions of opinions and research on this subject.

Full Signal premieres in December at the Santa Fe Film Festival in California. I would love to tell you that it will also air in the Capital Region but that depends on finding a theater to donate the space. The Spectrum or WAMC's Linda Norris Auditorium would be the perfect venue.
