• Shot in the Arm

    Directed by Scott Hamilton Kennedy
    USA | 89 minutes | World Premiere | True Stories

What began as a filmic investigation into vaccine resistance during a resurgent measles epidemic took a radical turn with the explosion of COVID-19. Exploring the “anti-vax” movement both historically and in the angry political present, this vital account probes the divides and disinformation that threaten our future.
