AVIATION’S BIGGEST SECRET EXPOSED AT CANNES

Fact-based investigative thriller, A DARK REFLECTION, tells the story of a chilling conspiracy
at the heart of the aviation industry.
A DARK REFLECTION, said to be UK’s most expensive co-operative based film ever made,
was produced by former British Airways Captain Tristan Loraine under his production banner –
award winning Fact Not Fiction Films.
The recently completed film screens at the Cannes Market on 15 May 2014 (Riviera 1 - 20h30)
and 19 May 2014 (Palais J - 09h30).
Director/Producer Tristan Loraine said:
“1000 people helped make this film to expose a serious health and flight safety issue that impacts
aviation today. Funding from crews, crew unions and the travelling public around the world
supported them. People who all want the film to help make air travel safer for everyone
including the unborn.”
The film in the style of ‘Erin Brockovich’ meets ‘All The Presidents Men’ stars Georgina
Sutcliffe, Rita Ramnani and Marina Sirtis.
The film is relevant to anyone who travels by air and is based on facts few passengers know
anything about.

Notes to editors:

The issue:
Cabin air in modern commercial jet aircraft (excluding the Boeing 787) is taken directly from the
compression section of the engine. This air - known as 'bleed air' - is unfiltered and provided to
passengers and crews to breathe. Oil fumes from the compression section of the engine leak into
this 'bleed air' supply in varying amounts dependent on engine design, maintenance, engine wear
and other known factors. It is a problem that dates back 6 decades. There is no filter on the bleed
air that could prevent contamination. There is no warning system or gauge to measure toxicity in
the cabin. The problem has been recognised by aviation regulators such as the FAA in the USA,
EASA in Europe and other agencies, governments, scientists, airlines, passenger representative
bodies, occupational doctors, aircraft and jet engine manufacturers, oil/lubricant manufacturers
and crew unions for several decades. But passengers are NEVER informed when they are
exposed.

Co-operative model film:
The film was made as a co-operative model film and continues to draw great support on both
sides of the Atlantic. Cast, crew, suppliers, supporters, and cash investors are committing their
time and resources in exchange for shares or accreditation in the film, meaning that they own the
completed film in proportion to their contribution towards it.
Film synopsis:
A journalist discovers one of the biggest cover-ups in aviation history when she starts to ask
questions, after her air traffic controller boyfriend is suspended following a serious in-flight
incident. When everything points to pilot fatigue, it’s time to check who’s pointing. As her
investigation progresses, she discovers a trail dating back to 1954.
‘Erin Brockovich’ meets ‘All the President’s Men’ in this revealing thriller.
