The Importance of documentary films:

American Addict
American Addict unveils how America has gone from the land of the free to the land of the addicted. The U.S. represents 5% of the world's population but consumes 50% of the world's prescription medications and over 80% of the world's prescription hydrocodone (Norco/Vicodin); this is not a coincidence. The film reveals the relationships between the FDA, Big Pharma, physicians and the media that are in place to ensure that medical problems are treated primarily with pills. The horrific consequences from this practice results in overuse, abuse, addiction and unnecessary deaths. American Addict is the most important film of  2013 because it could literally save your loved one's life.

Cigarettes and alcohol have been demonized, but there is a lax attitude in our society concerning prescription drug use. American Addict tracks the growth of this problem, the pharmaceutical industry mega profits in nurturing pill-popping habits, and the FDA's culpability in the unbridled power of the "legal" drug cartels.

Movie critics point out the film exposes and condemns those who have profited from this situation but reminds the consumer they have a duty to educate themselves about the dangers of drugs and unscrupulous medical profiteers. In other words, in light of the health industry's corruption, consumer awareness is critical, and reform begins with personal responsibility. The filmmakers expose the blatant corruption involving the FDA, politicians, pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies. 

Although this documentary focuses on the issue of prescription drug abuse in the U.S., it is relevant across the world because of the unrestrained power vested in huge pharmaceutical companies on the international stage, and the interest they have in the habituation of people to consuming pills for every ill.

American Weed Cannabis Covid connection

American Weed The Cannabis Covid-19 Connection is a 4-part docuseries that covers the history of cannabis in the U.S. and draws parallels to the conspiracies, lies, propaganda, political theatre and misinformation between the so-called

dangers and plague of cannabis in the 1920s and the deadliness of Covid-19 in the 2020s. The eerie similarities are difficult to ignore. We examine the push for lockdowns, masks and vaccines and the suppression of almost any information on alternative treatments that threaten the narrative governments around the world have used to handle the pandemic. Are the same organizations controlling the narrative behind the global approach of COVID-19, and vaccines that suppressed the industrial and medical uses of cannabis? Is cannabis the real silver bullet that can end COVID-19, its variants and future viral outbreaks? These are just some of
the questions answered by this groundbreaking docuseries.

Cancer in Wonderland is a narrative film combined with elements of fantasy and documentary enhancement. A truly unique and ambitious film that tells the tale of an 11-year-old girl with terminal cancer, but wait is it really terminal? It depends on which path you follow and believe. This is not the cliché sad film of a dying little girl but a film that could prove disruptive to a trillion-dollar worldwide cancer industry.

What does this little girl discover that no doctor or scientist has? Maybe we don’t need to fear cancer after all... This film blurs the line between reality and fantasy. It may force you to question your own reality and the way you view cancer, its treatment, and why just the word cancer is viewed as a death sentence.
