    “Film director David M. Reynolds is obsessed with the fabled island of Atlantis. He’s so obsessed that he spent the past two years working practically nonstop (and with barely any budget) on five short films collectively called The Underwater Realm. In each of these four-to-five minute shorts, humans come into contact with Atlanteans, from a slave thrown overboard during the height of the Roman empire to a modern-day couple who are mysteriously snatched while exploring an underwater cave. They’re all now freely available on the web for anyone to see. And if all goes well Reynolds hopes that the shorts will lead to three feature-length underwater movies that revolve around Atlantis.”

    “Firstly doping harms athletes; secondly, doping is unfair to the athlete’s competitors; thirdly, doping undermines sports in society,” Cooper explains. “Contrast this with the arguments against recreational drugs. Firstly drugs harm an individual; secondly, drugs harm those with whom an individual interacts; thirdly drugs harm the moral structure of society.”
