Janson Media Joins Vaccine Debate with Powerful Documentary Film

Janson Media today announced the release of the feature documentary, The Greater Good(1 x 74') to worldwide television, digital, VOD, DVD and educational markets. The film is also available as a one-hour television special (1 x 52'). The film looks behind the fear, hype and politics that have polarized the vaccine debate in America today. It re-frames the emotionally charged issue and offers, for the first time, the opportunity for a rational and scientific discussion on how to create a safer and more effective vaccine program.

Our society has reached a crossroads on vaccines. Americans are asking questions about safety, but are confused about where to turn for answers. Government agencies are charged with implementing sound policies that will keep vaccination rates high and disease rates low. But to accomplish this noble goal, does the government go too far in shielding the public from possible side effects? Mandatory vaccination is a health policy unique to America, and for a growing number of her citizens, it is an unsettling mandate, one at odds with the nation"s founding principles of individual rights and freedoms. The Greater Good shifts the debate from the controversial, vaccine-induced-autism theory and instead engages with human stories from within a troubled system.

Dr. Joseph Mercola said, 'There are severe consequences due to our current vaccine policy and schedule, many of which are simply dismissed as coincidence or diagnosed improperly. These damages cannot be swept under the rug, and The Greater Good documentary highlights several powerful personal stories of vaccine tragedies to bring increased awareness to this important issue.' And Anthony Kauffman of the Wall Street Journal said the film 'could intensify debate around the potential dangers of vaccines.&'

The LA Times called the film, &'Deftly examined...provocative... an effective eye opener.' LA Weekly said, &'What"s being said is staggering, especially if you don"t know too much about the science of, and politics behind, vaccines.&' And Peggy O'Mara, the founder of Mothering Magazine, said this: &'The Greater Good may be the most important vaccine film ever made. Finally, we hear the stories of families adversely affected by vaccines told in a compelling and compassionate way. Using film as a medium for social change, The Greater Good informs, educates and calls to action. It is documentary film at its finest.&'

The Greater Good was produced by filmmakers Leslie Manookian, Kendall Nelson and Chris Pilaro. For more information, please visit the film's official website.
