NLP Chosen to Produce Media for the Laogai Museum

Northern Light was recently chosen by the Laogai Museum to create all audiovisual elements for its new location in Washington DC. The museum is the first in the United States to directly address human rights issues in China.

The company will produce audiovisual programs documenting the atrocities committed within China’s forced-labor prison camps under the Communist regime. Since the 1950s, between 40 to 50 million people are estimated to have been subjected to arbitrary detention, unregulated mistreatment, and oftentimes death within these prisons.

NLP to Co-Produce Film Examining Capitalism in Romania

Northern Light is pleased to be working with Romanian cinematographer Daniel Cojanu and American journalist and multi-media producer Elise Cojanu to Co-Produce The Stolen Revolution, a film that will examine capitalism in Romania 20 years after the fall of communism. Filmed in cinema verité style and shot in HD video with archival footage from the communist period, the documentary will examine the impact of the country’s fast train to globalization from several different perspectives – a young orphan, an urban couple, a middle-aged miner, and a revolutionary-turned-millionaire. Their stories highlight the variety of ways in which a capitalist system, especially in light of the recent financial crisis, actually affects Romanians today.
