The Atomic Cafe 1982  N/R, 88 min.
Genre: Documentary
Director: Kevin Rafferty, Pierce Rafferty, Jayne Loader
This is a thought-provoking documentary that is almost entirely taken from government film and educational footage to "help" the population (not only U.S., but Marshall Island inhabitants, for example, who were near the site of our Bikini Island atomic bomb tests) understand the atomic bomb. As an example, for those old enough, the TV ads that ran on dealing with a bomb blast, including "Duck and Cover," will be of interest.

The Last Cigarette 1999  N/R, 82 min.
Genre: Documentary
Director: Kevin Rafferty, Francois Keraudren
This documentary tries to uncover the truth about smoking as it cleverly utilizes old tobacco commercials as well as cigarette-puffing Edward R. Murrow and John Wayne footage to show the perils of believing the propaganda.

Roger & Me 1989  R, 90 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Michael Moore
Cast: John Prusack, Kevin Rafferty, Bruce Schermer, Michael Moore, Ronald Reagan, Pat Boone
This documentary-style film actually uses humor to show the plight of General Motors' ex-employees thrown out of work when the company closed its Flint, Michigan truck plant. The idea is to bring General Motors chairman, Roger Smith, back to Flint so that he can see first-hand what despair is present in the city he left behind.
