For decades, scores of doctors, government officials, journalists, and others have extolled the benefits of psychiatric medicines for children. GENERATION RX presents “the rest of the story” and unveils how this era of unprecedented change in Western culture really occurred – and what price has been paid by our society.
International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller (Let Truth Be The Bias, The Promised Land) “delivers a jaw-dropping emotional ride,” and “weaves a terrifying tale of criminal conspiracy, the mass abandonment of medical ethics, and the routine betrayal of an entire generation.” By employing the expertise of internationally respected professionals from the fields of medicine, ethics, journalism, and academia, GENERATION RX investigates collusion between drug companies and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA and focuses on the powerful stories of real families who followed the advice of their doctors – and faced devastating consequences for doing so.
GENERATION RX is a film about families who confronted horror and found nowhere to turn for help – and how scores of children have been caught in the vortex of mind-bending drugs at the earliest stages of their growth and development. This powerful documentary also questions whether we have forced millions of children onto pharmaceutical drugs for commercial rather than scientific reasons.
Ultimately, Generation RX may help parents decide whether the perceived benefits of these medications outweigh the serious risks to children.
“GENERATION RX is a film that every parent should see,” says Jason Buchanan of ALL MOVIE GUIDE.
In the 1990s, Kevin P. Miller began producing documentaries about the great social issues of our time. His film The Promised Land both won international accolades and helped raise $500,000 in donations to benefit the homeless, proving to Miller that documentary films could affect social change. He went on to produce The War Within, a film about race relations and Let Truth Be The Bias, which tackled the loss of civil liberties and featured a guns-drawn raid at the clinic of a revered holistic doctor. In 2005, Miller produced “We Become Silent”, a film about Codex Alimentarius and “free trade,” which was narrated by British actress Dame Judi Dench.
With his new film, Generation RX, Miller investigates collusion between pharmaceutical manufacturers and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA, and also questions whether we have forced millions of children onto pharmaceutical drugs for commercial rather than scientific reasons. “It began when I saw a video of people testifying before the FDA in 1991 about Prozac,” he said. “I was so moved by their personal stories, moved to tears, really. But apparently the FDA was not. It was then that I knew that someday I would produce a film like Generation RX.”
