Christian Zyp speaks with Director/Screenwriter Daniel Roby about his latest film "Target Number One". Inspired by real events that took place in 1989, "Target Number One" follows three interconnected stories: an ex-heroin junkie who gets trapped by a criminal organization to set up a drug deal in Thailand; an undercover cop who’s humiliated and decides to take a short cut to enhance the performance of his team; and an investigative reporter who’s forced to re-evaluate his core convictions and maverick methods after the birth of his first child.

Each holiday season Moving Radio host Christian Zyp challenges correspondent Mark Davies with watching a questionable film based around the season. On Nov 17th, 1978 CBS to milk North America's fascination with A New Hope. This special has it all: Bea Arthur... I feel like that's all I need to say even though there's much much more. Viva la Life Day!

Moving Radio contributor Lindsey Campbell watches movies for a living. Sometimes she sees film that makes her think, "Thanks Telefilm..." In this edition, Lindsey discusses the film "SuperGrid" with Darcy Twarog. SuperGrid is a 2018 Canadian post-apocalyptic directed by Lowell Dean, who previously directed horror-comedies WolfCop and Another WolfCop. In a future where a plague has infected much of the population, two brothers are tasked with retrieving a mysterious package by traveling to Canada, which mining conglomerates have turned into a wasteland. Two brothers must travel the same road that claimed their sister's life in their quest to deliver mysterious cargo that they received to its proper destination. En route they must contend with road pirates, rebel gangs, and each other.

THE KILLING OF PHILLIP BOURDEAU is the story of a death that tore apart the Nova Scotia community of Isle Madame, a postcard-perfect collection of Acadian fishing villages off the coast of Cape Breton Island. Phillip Boudreau, a local man known for poaching lobsters, was killed by fishermen in a crime the media dubbed “murder for lobster,” which made international headlines seven years ago. But as anyone from the area will tell you, it’s a lot more complicated than that. Director Megan Wennberg unpacks a complicated and tangled web of blame in The Killing of Phillip Boudreau. The film looks at Boudreau himself, the challenges of policing this area and the role the community played as a whole: everyone knew there was a problem, but no one did anything before it was too late.

Christian Zyp interviews documentary director/writer Anthony Goertz about the film THE LINE. The critical work of reducing Edmontonians’ ecological footprint is done by some of the most marginalized members of our community. At the world-renowned Edmonton Waste Management Centre, a company called Quality One hires people with barriers to employment: criminal records, addictions, newcomer status, and disabilities of various kinds. The result: real community in an unlikely place. THE LINE is a documentary that sheds light on their stories and reveals what happens to the things we throw away.
