For decades, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs have carefully cultivated an image of being misunderstood motorcycle enthusiasts who have been unfairly treated by police. The reality, however, could not be farther from what they want you to believe.
Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and their members have been at the center of many of Canada’s most violent and brazen criminal acts. Their presence and influence in the criminal underworld and their negative impact on public safety spans the globe.
Making judicious use of dramatic reenactments and featuring interviews with former bikers who risked their lives to share the truth about this unique American invention, “The Program” sheds light on their exclusive recruitment program, the myth of Brotherhood and what really happens in their dark world of violence and crime.
Director Biography – Greg Nosaty
Born in Winnipeg, Greg Nosaty began his career in the rock & roll world as a technician touring with Canadian music legends The Guess Who and Burton Cummings. In 1990 he retired from the music scene to peruse his passion for storytelling as a documentary filmmaker which brought him to settle in British Columbia in 2002.
Greg has become an award-winning Director, Director of Photography and Editor with thirty years of experience in the television industry. He has filmed, directed, and edited over 45 hours of compelling television for Red Letter Films.
Some of his previous achievements include Demystifying Cannabis a documentary that explores Canada’s legalization of recreational cannabis, seven seasons of the true crime docudrama series Dark Waters of Crime, two docudrama series Medical Mysteries and Crimes of the West, and Mushers: Conquering the Yukon Quest, an eight-episode series following the grueling 1000 mile international sled dog race in Yukon and Alaska.
Today when he isn’t globetrotting making documentaries he can be found on the lakes, rivers and coastline of British Columbia pursuing his passion for fly fishing.
Director Statement
In 2023 I was invited to take up the challenge as director and editor for the series The Program, an exposé of The Hells Angels and outlaw motorcycle gangs. I jumped at the opportunity to learn more about one of the most notorious outlaw gangs in the world. After many years directing true crime documentaries, I thought I knew a few things about criminals, but I soon realized this was a very mysterious organization.
I was thrilled to screen hours of exclusive interviews with former gang members under witness protection, gang enforcement officers and journalists. I spent an entire year unravelling the mysteries and misconceptions of these outlaws and weaving together, what I feel is a very compelling and unique story.
