“Pharmageddon,” a provocative documentary directed by Donal O’Neill and produced by British heart specialist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, was launched just lately on the sidelines of the Cannes Movie Competition.

The movie, which builds on O’Neill and Malhotra’s earlier launch “First Do No Pharm,” assembles a roster of voices together with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Fiona Godlee, Jay Bhattacharya MD and Dr. Vandana Shiva. It delves into the pharmaceutical business and the rise of diet-related ailments.

On the Cannes presentation on the Carlton Resort, which featured the movie’s official poster and first-look footage, Malhotra — who serves as chief medical officer for the “Make America Wholesome Once more” initiative and contributed to the MAHA report launched Might 22 — participated in a Q&A session.

“We’ve a pandemic of misinformed medical doctors and unwittingly harmed sufferers,” Malhotra advised the Carlton Resort viewers. “Medical information is underneath business management, and the advantages of medication are grossly exaggerated. ‘Pharmageddon’ is our battle to reclaim reality and prioritize affected person well being over earnings.”

The documentary addresses over-medication, Covid vaccines, and dietary myths. The movie explores the affect of massive pharma and advocates for a more healthy, much less medicated world.

The filmmakers describe “Pharmageddon” as greater than a movie, calling it a motion to redefine healthcare. Director O’Neill stated, “After years of censorship, ‘Pharmageddon’ is our likelihood to interrupt by means of. We’re able to work with Hollywood and the brand new administration to show the web page on a damaged system. In case you may give us wings, please do.”

Govt producer Bhuvan Lall stated that the movie is focusing on a worldwide theatrical launch in September.
