Fontaine and Holocaust survivor Nate Leipciger became, in the duo’s words, ‘best friends’ during nationwide speaking tours together on the trauma they experienced in youth.
In 1990, Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs leader Phil Fontaine shocked Canada, by speaking publicly about the physical and sexual abuse he endured during his time in the residential school system.

Atomic Eden titled
Nico Sentner: The title
Nazi Doomsday Device was used only in the UK to meet the tastes of the British audience. It was our UK distribution partner who changed the title in the first place. I never liked the UK release title. Everywhere else in the world the film has always been called

Atomic Eden as part of the global release strategy and I’m very happy with it.
