Rife
Feature Film
Writer: Barry O’Connell
Rife is a gripping historical drama inspired by the controversial true story of inventor-scientist Royal Raymond Rife, whose discoveries promised to transform medicine — until they threatened powerful institutions determined to stop him. Set in 1930s America, the film follows Rife’s rise from brilliant outsider to persecuted visionary as he develops technology capable of observing and potentially destroying deadly diseases. As fame, ambition, corporate influence, and scientific dogma collide, Rife becomes both an intimate portrait of a man consumed by his quest and a meditation on innovation, suppression, and the cost of challenging entrenched power.
