"Director Rachel Lyon's skill at weaving the past and present is to be applauded. 'Shadow Over Tibet' is a fascinating hour well worth your time."

An Emmy Award-winning producer

 

Lioness Media Arts has created over 60 hours of prime-time non-fiction programming, four feature films, and a series of programming for National Geographic EXPLORER. Rachel Lyons, President, served for seven years as Senior Producer for Ted Turner, where she produced The Terror Trade - Buying the Bomb, Only One Earth and many other global-issue documentaries. At the Benton Broadcast Project of the University of Chicago, Ms. Lyon produced The Glory and the Power:  Fundamentalism Observed, a three-part series on the worldwide impact of fundamentalism.

 

Mr. Dreyfuss Goes to Washington - A two-hour special for the History Channel with Oscar winner, Richard Dreyfuss. NPR's Nina Totenberg, former Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Pulitzer-prize winner Joseph Ellis offer personal insight into landmarks such as the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial Wall, the White House, Mount Vernon and the Capitol Building.

 

Shadow over Tibet: Stories in Exile -This film, directed by Rachel Lyon and narrated by Richard Gere, is a highly personalized account of the crises in Chinese-occupied Tibet and the attempts of Tibetan refugees to maintain their ancient culture in exile while using non-violent means to bring peace and freedom to their homeland.

 

The Terror Trade - Buying the Bomb is a Better World Society Program that probed the burgeoning black market in nuclear know-how. In a deadly twist to the law of supply and demand, the raw materials of nuclear weaponry are now available to the highest bidder - and bidders in this multi-million dollar black market auction already include representatives of Libya, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan and could extend to well-financed terrorist groups.

 

Men who Molest:  Children who survive - This Emmy award winning feature documentary broke open the story of child sexual abuse and brought it to the forefront of the national agenda. Borrowing techniques developed in Alcoholics Anonymous, the program views molesters as sexual addicts and seeks to first alter their behavior and then focus on the reasons for it.

 

The Glory and the Power:  Fundamentalism Observed is based on The Fundamentalism Project, a five-year study of worldwide fundamentalism conducted by a team of international scholars. The Fundamentalism Project is sponsored by the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (AAAS) which received a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. April 1992.

 

Only One Earth is an integrated package of film and educational print materials that shows how careless economic development is destroying the global environment. As well as looking at the world's major environmental problems, the project also shows examples of "sustainable development" that improves living standards without damaging the environment.
