A special
presentation of this searing documentary, co-presented by The Nantucket
Project, that will include a Q&A immediately following with producer Amy
Ziering . America has the most technologically advanced
health care system in the world, yet medical interventions have become the
third leading cause of death, and the overwhelming majority of high-risk
implanted devices never require a single clinical trial. In THE BLEEDING EDGE,
Academy Award (R) nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering (THE
INVISIBLE WAR, THE HUNTING GROUND) turn their sights on the $400 billion
medical device industry, examining lax regulations, corporate cover-ups, and
profit driven incentives that put patients at risk daily. Weaving emotionally
powerful stories of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed, the film
asks: what life-saving technologies may actually be killing us?
