Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street…
“If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.”
Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma.
Three big, BIG, okay… HUGE topics in one film. Why? Why not 3 films, why put all this in one movie?
Great question, 2 answers.
1st and most importantly: We need to band together. We need a mainstream film, not another radical movie that only interests the “already converted”. Over 5 million people supported Prop 37 in CA. Reportedly, over 2 million worldwide marched against Monsanto in a global protest. There are thousands of actively involved parents focused on vaccine safety truth.
We’re going to use multiple groups to make sure the critical message in this film “crosses the chasm” and makes it into mainstream. We’ve already allied with some of the most successful voices in these areas. We can’t afford to stay “silo’ed”, focused on only one key issue. These causes are directly related, and we need to harness all of us to draw close to the level of noise put out by the medical-industrial conglomerate.
Now, I just have to make a great, credible, mind-blowing film. I can do that. That brings us to the second point.
Combining all three topics makes wonderful storytelling, because it’s the same villain! You peel back the layers and see what’s really driving our industrialized food, our insane vaccine expansion, and our love affair with pharmaceuticals- it’s the same villain. I can’t wait to show you what we’ve started…
So there it is. We’re going to tackle the most important, the most controversial, emotional, and bitterly debated topics of a young families life. And we're going to make some noise.
This one needs you. PLEASE READ THIS!
I honestly can’t think of anything more important I could do with my skillset, contacts, and relationships. I have 10 grandkids and more to come. This information matters!
We’ve already enlisted the support and participation of the biggest names in this field, but we will get no support, zero, nothing, nada, from corporate sponsors on this project. It’s just too controversial, it’s too red hot.
This project will only happen if we successfully crowdfund it. It will be funded $35 at a time, $100 at a time. This means we desperately need you to support and share and share and share.
There is a story roaming through my head, one that’s insisting to get out. It was born in over 100 interviews with genuine, loving, caring health care professionals, researchers and advocates last year. We kept picking up a theme, a sense that the game was rigged, that we’d already played and lost but didn’t know it. Our health has already been Bought.
It’s a risky story to tell, but would be a tragedy to passively consent to with silence.
I always end up asking myself the question: If not me, who? If not now, when?
There is something horribly wrong with health care today. While we were filming Doctored, we kept running into the signs of it. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD’s aren’t being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine, Chiropractors are marginalized and sidelined and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled.
Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time.
Someone has to tell this story. Someone has to do it right, give it a chance to really be heard. Someone? That’s us, you and me.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Bought picks up the story where Doctored left off, a deep dive into the story we only hinted at. Vaccine safety, GMOs and factory foods, and Big Pharma.
Three huge stories, each worthy of multiple films, but each brought together by one staggering fact: it’s the same villain.
Vaccine safety:
- Because vaccines are unsafe, the US government established the Federal Vaccine Court to protect the vaccine industry and acknowledge and compensate victims.
- The official line is that vaccines do not cause autism - a disorder that the CDC has just reported affects 1 in 32 boys, 6-17 years of age.
- The fact is that the Federal Vaccine Court has been quietly settling cases of brain damage that resulted in autism for many years and these awards have been made to cover autism treatments.
- We have exclusive access to those who have won and lost in Vax court and they have agreed to be part of a documentary. They are articulate, knowledgeable, and compelling historians.
- These are not “anti-vaccine” people, as evidenced by the fact that the reason they were in vaccine court is because of what happened when they DID vaccinate their children.
- The core question is "Why did these families win and yet the test case in the (thousands-strong class action) Autism Omnibus Proceedings - Michelle Cedillo - lose, given the fact that the clinical presentation in these cases was virtually identical?
- Among those who have agreed to take part are plaintiff's lawyers who fought the winning and losing cases.
- The conclusion is that Michelle Cedillo could not be allowed to win - the consequences for the Medical-Industrial complex are too great.
GMO’s:
- Last year Prop 37 in California was a shoe-in to win.
- Surveys showed as much as 85% of the public wants GMOs labeled on our foods. $6.7 million was raised and the proposition was headed for passage.
- Then Monsanto, Dow and food manufacturing giants sprinted to the finish with over $45 million and defeated the proposition by 6 points.
- Then in March of 2013, the “Monsanto Protection Act” was tacked on to HR933 and signed into law.
- Are GMOs safe? It doesn’t matter, you won’t be suing their creators. Our food safety has been sold out from under us. It’s been Bought.
- More recently, the Senate struck down an amendment to the Farm Bill that would have allowed states to require GM food labelling.
- It would have caused the FDA and USDA to report to Congress the percentage of GMOs in foods and beverages within two years.
- If GMOs are safe, why all the work to keep them hidden?
Big Pharma:
- The question was asked in an editorial, “Is academic medicine for sale?” The answer, “no, the current owner is quite happy.”
- From opiates, to statins, to a blizzard of psychotropic medications that do far more harm than good, we’re covering how our entire health care system, from education to practice has been Bought.
- With shocking stories from our military’s use of psychotropic medications and the tragic outcomes of this failing experiment to lives and families lost in a haze of pharmaceutical drugs.
These three story lines converge on Wall Street, in a tale of corruption, greed and shocking lack of conscience. We think this is the most important film we’ve ever embarked on. And we’re asking you to be a part of it, both in funding and in promotion.
Our budget is $700,000. Once finished, we’ll release it in theaters and that will push our total costs to about $1,000,000. Our best case scenario is to fund the entire project with you. Every dollar raised here will go toward the expense of creating and distributing this film.
Pharmaceutical companies spend over $4 billion per year on advertising. That’s 4000 times our best-case scenario, every year! Your support is the only way this happens, please join us.
If not you, who? If not now, when?
