ZIPPER: Coney Island’s Last Wild Ride

ZIPPER: Coney Island’s Last Wild Ride

A story about greed, politics and the land grab of the century, ZIPPER chronicles the battle over an American cultural icon. Small-time ride operator, Eddie Miranda, proudly operates a carnival contraption called the Zipper in the heart of Coney Island’s gritty amusement district. When his rented lot is snatched up by a real estate mogul, Eddie and his ride become casualties of a power struggle between the developer and the City of New York over the future of the world-famous destination. Be it an affront to history or simply the path of progress, the spirit of Coney Island is at stake. In an increasingly corporate landscape, where authenticity is often sacrificed for economic growth, the Zipper may be just the beginning of what is lost.

During Nazi occupation, red-headed Bent Faurschou-Hviid (“Flame”) and Jørgen Haagen Schmith (“Citron”), assassins in the Danish resistance, take orders from Winther, who’s in direct contact with Allied leaders.

When a target tells Bent that Winther’s using them to settle private scores, doubt sets in, complicated by Bent’s relationship with the mysterious Kitty Selmer, who may be a double agent. Also, someone in their circle is a traitor. Can Bent and Jørgen kill an über-target, evade capture, and survive the war? And is this heroism, naiveté, or mere hatred?

The physical evidence left behind warns us of another judgment to come, but when? The second film in THE DAYS OF NOAH series, “Judgment Hour,” answers this question. Just before the Flood, Noah gave a judgment hour message to the world and likewise, a prophecy foretold at the end of time another message would go forth to the world declaring “the hour of His judgment is come.” (Rev 14:6) As the judgment hour message proclaimed by Noah invited the people to find mercy and refuge in the Ark, so too, this judgment hour message for the last generation contains the instructions whereby man might find mercy and refuge in the last Ark before the destruction of the world by fire.
