Ann McElhinney is a documentary film director and producer. In 2008 she produced and directed "Not Evil Just Wrong," a documentary which examines the devastating consequences of global warming hysteria. The film highlights the tragic consequences of the first triumph of the environmental movement, the ban on DDT, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 40 million children and adults in the developing world.

Previously McElhinney produced and directed "Mine Your Own Business" (2006)--the first documentary that asks difficult questions of the environmental movement. As a result, 80 NGOs, including Greenpeace, called for the film to be banned when it was screened in the National Geographic auditorium in Washington.

Protesters compared "Mine Your Own Business" to "nazi propaganda" and "pornography" and the filmmakers received two death threats from environmentalists.

However Canada's National Post said "Mine Your Own Business" is "devastating because it combats prejudices and fantasies with pictures that refute thousands of weasel words. Images spun from afar. It deserves to be seen by anybody who wants to understand the impact on poor people of radical environmentalism."

McElhinney has also made documentaries for the BBC, CBC (Canada), and RTE (Ireland). "The Search for Tristan's Mum" (RTE, 2005) concerned the case of Tristan Dowse, a baby who was adopted by an Irish man and his wife in Indonesia. Then two years later when the adoptive mother became pregnant, they abandoned Tristan in an Indonesian orphanage.

The case outraged Ireland and McElhinney tracked down Tristan's natural mother and, going undercover, infiltrated the baby-selling ring. Tristan is now living with his natural mother in Indonesia and the baby sellers are serving lengthy jail sentences.

The Irish government initiated a high court protection order to protect Tristan's interests and when delivering his judgment Justice John McMenamin said McElhinney deserved the "highest of praise" for her investigative journalism.

McElhinney was featured in and was the Associate Producer of the highly controversial documentary "Return to Sender" (2005) for CBC.

McElhinney's has also written for or contributed to an array of international media organizations including ABC (US), BBC, CBC (Canada), ABC (Australia), RTE (Ireland), The Sunday Times, and the Irish Times. She is a regular contributor to talk radio in the US and has most recently contributed to the Dennis Miller and Randi Rhodes show.

McElhinney has worked as a journalist and filmmaker in the US, Canada, Romania, Bulgaria, Chile, Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Ghana, and Uganda.

McElhinney is also a highly entertaining and inspirational speaker. She has most recently spoken at conferences in New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Maine, and Salt Lake City.

Phelim McAleer is the director and producer of "Not Evil Just Wrong" (2008)--a feature length documentary which looks at how extreme environmentalism is damaging ordinary people from the ban on DDT to the current concerns over Global Warming.

He was the director and producer of "Mine Your Own Business" (2006)--the first documentary that asks difficult questions of the environmental movement.

"Mine Your Own Business" looks at campaigns by foreign environmentalists against large scale mining projects in the developing world. The documentary reveals the exaggeration and misrepresentations that are behind many of these campaigns.

It also reveals how many environmentalists mistake poverty for an idyllic way of life that they believe needs to be preserved.

The left-wing UK Guardian newspaper described "Mine Your Own Business as, "A Michael Moore-style documentary…casts the green movement as the influential villain of a worldwide campaign to block development and deny people the chance of jobs and a decent life."

Newsweek says that the film has produced "quotes, observations and footage that cast environmental groups in a decidedly unflattering light."

Before "Mine Your Own Business," McAleer was a second unit director, Associate Producer and researcher on the documentary "Return to Sender" which aired on Canada's CBC in February 2005.

From 2000 to 2003 he was the Romania/Bulgaria Correspondent for the Financial Times. McAleer has also written for The Economist from the region. Previously from 1998 to 2000, he worked for the UK Sunday Times in their Dublin office. He has also written for the UK Spectator magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Ottawa Gazette, and the Sunday Tribune in Ireland. McAleer started his career as a journalist working for the Crossmaglen Examiner a local Northern Ireland newspaper in Co. Armagh. The newspaper covered stories in the area, which was known as 'Bandit country' because of the ferocity of the IRA campaign in the area. McAleer then moved to the Irish News in Belfast. At the Irish News, Northern Ireland's largest selling daily newspaper he worked as a journalist covering the Northern Ireland troubles and peace process before becoming night editor.

He devised and co-produced "The Search for Tristan's Mum" which was broadcast on RTE 1, the Irish state television station, in 2005. It featured the shocking case of the toddler Tristan Dowse, who was adopted by an Irish couple at birth and then abandoned in an Indonesian orphanage two years later.

The Search for Tristan's Mum was selected for Input 2006, a showcase for the best programs from national public broadcasters from around the world. It was selected by industry professionals and screened at Input 2006 in Taiwan in May.

McAleer is a much sought after public speaker and radio show guest. He has most recently spoken at conferences in New York (Heartland Institute), Salt Lake City (Sutherland Institute), Maine (State Policy Network), and interviewed on BBC and the US syndicated radio shows of Dennis Miller and Randi Rhodes.
