The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC. Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting the anti-vax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR vaccine may cause autism.

Trivia

When the film was announced for the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, documentarian Penny Lane wrote a virally-circulated letter condemning its inclusion in the lineup. Although festival head Robert De Niro defended the film's inclusion in a statement on March 25, 2016 (as he and Grace Hightower have an autistic son), the film was pulled from the line-up the next day on Tribeca's Facebook page.

User Reviews

Profound and poignant film for the next generation

A poignant film about the health of our future generation. It's a must see for those who can think for themselves and not just follow along whatever the mainstream media dictates. Full of information that can take years of research if interested in the topic/ is a parent. The producers did well on comprising everything in 1.5 hours. Del Bigtree mentions that it is the story of his career- I think it's the story of our future. People need to be informed and take back their health. This a movie that can start a revolution. Follow the money trail and it will reveal itself. Passionate, riveting, moving and emotional. Andrew Wakefield deserves a Nobel Prize. Eye opening movie! If you want to have healthy children get informed!
