Ce documentaire cinématographique, inspiré du best-seller A Short History of Progress de Ronald Wright, pose un diagnostic subversif sur le progrès de l’humanité et les pièges qu’il apporte. Le réalisateur Mathieu Roy et co-réalisateur Harold Crooks, par le biais de scènes mémorables et le regard lucide de grandes personnalités tels que David Suzuki, Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood et Stephen Hawking, sondent la nature fondamentale et dérangeante de ce qui est qualifié de progrès.

From 1957 to 1978, scientists secretly removed bone samples from over 21,000 dead Australians as they searched for evidence of the deadly poison, Strontium 90 - a by-product of nuclear testing. Silent Storm reveals the story behind this astonishing case of officially sanctioned 'body-snatching'. Set against a backdrop of the Cold War, the saga follows celebrated scientist, Hedley Marston, as he attempts to blow the whistle on radioactive contamination and challenge official claims that British atomic tests posed no threat to the Australian people. Marston's findings are not only disputed, he is targeted as 'a scientist of counter-espionage interest'.
