David L. Cunningham Biography

David L. Cunningham is one of the most popular and richest Filmmaker who was born on February 24, 1971 in Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland. David L. Cunningham, born in Switzerland (February 24 1971) and born in Kailua Kona, Hawaii is an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. In addition to his documentary credits in over 40 different countries Cunningham was also the producer of numerous feature films, including To End All Wars (2001) as well as The Path to 9/11 TV miniseries The Road toward 9/11 (2006). Cunningham is represented through the United Talent Agency.

The film’s official promotions offered a variety of claims regarding its basis in fact: Fox TV on Sept 6 in 2006, quoted producers as saying that the show was built “solely and completely on the 9/11 Commission report.” But on the blog of ABC’s Path to 9/11, Cunningham emphasized: “This is a movie or more specifically a docudrama. Meaning, it is a narrative movie based on facts and dramatized with actors.”

In 2008, the Brazilian government officials said “the missionaries are exaggerating and exploiting the issue to justify their attempts to convert Indians to Christianity”. In 2009, Survival International released a statement that film is “faked, that the earth covering the children’s faces is actually chocolate cake, and that the film’s claim that infanticide among Brazilian Indians is widespread is false.” Survival International has pointed out that the Hakani film is being used by Youth with a Mission to facilitate their ministries in the area.

In 2008, Cunningham directed Hakani: A Survivor’s Story telling the story of an 8-year-old boy’s rescue of his little sister (“Hakani”) who, because of birth defects, was to be put to death by their tribe in the Amazon. The film, also funded by Youth with a Mission, was shot with members from 8 Amazonian tribes. In Brazil, the film has played a part in a controversial indigenous peoples’ rights campaign. While proponents of the film have made claims that it is “true”, the Brazilians who “adopted” Hakani have readily admitted they can’t give evidence beyond medical records, pictures and the word of Hakani’s brother.

The Film Institute (TFI), which is a “non-profit association geared toward educating filmmakers from the developing world, linking like-minded filmmakers, and focusing resources and talent for social change”, was founded by Cunningham as well as a few University of the Nations alumni in 2004. While ABC claimed that the network was the primary source of the money for The Road to 9/11 TFI got involved after a number of online bloggers claimed that it had financed or had an influence on the film.

Jeffrey Ressner of The Politico, wrote Blocking ‘The Path to 9/11 mirrored The Path to 9/11 because it “raises even more questions and adds its own set of disconnected dots to this broadcasting dilemma”.
