Full Plot Details

Dr. Rutledge and his team take an in depth look into a disease that has killed more people than any disease ever known -- Malaria. They interview African, Indian, and US Governments, charitable organizations, scientists, politicians, doctors, clinics, victims, and survivors. They explore and expose the politics of domestic and international policies and find the evidence that the public never truly understood. What they find is astonishing. The greatest ecological genocide in the known history of man is laid bare -- the 1972 ban of an extraordinary life-protecting chemical DDT. This is politics -- the cold brutal crookedness that kills with a stroke of a pen. Shortsightedness of governmental and environmental policies is causing the deaths of millions and the suffering of billions. When the EPA, Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, and Sierra refused interviews, Dr. Rutledge knew he had touched a nerve. For businessmen and women to endorse and encourage "alternatives" while a safe and proven PREVENTION sits idle is like fiddling while Rome burns. Africa loses nearly 3000 women and children on a daily basis not to mention 12 billion dollars annually to malaria alone. The team discovers that malaria is completely preventable -- completely. These young filmmakers trek from R. Carson's SILENT SPRING to the dead silence of millions of corpses and billions of suffering ones. And, thirty plus years after the DDT ban the death toll is gargantuan. Is it a mere coincidence that deaths from West Nile virus, mosquitoes, and bedbugs are growing by leaps and bounds right here in the US?? This film is intended to go directly to you, the American people, with the certainty that it will dramatically open up a virtual blizzard of public debate. This is one film that is long overdue...

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 5/10 by Neil GenzlingerThe guy's not much of a filmmaker, but he certainly gets your attention.
L.A. Weekly - 4/10 by Aaron HillisPerfunctorily shot and edited, the project hinges only on Rutledge-Taylor's findings, which begin to raise eyebrows once pragmatic activism is thrown out the window in favor of the blame game.
Time Out - 2/10 by Simon AbramsThe film favors conspiracy theories and half-truths, in addition to discrediting Planned Parenthood as a racist institution and "Silent Spring" as the work of a vindictive cancer victim. It will incense you-for all the wrong reasons.
User Review - 10/10 by rrrrrrr mA thought-provoking documentary. When someone spends his own money to make a film like this, you have to take him seriously. Rutledge Taylor looks at the question of malaria, particularly in Africa and Asia, and asks questions that should have been asked a long time ago. Why have all the modern drugs, bed-net campaigns and modern insecticides not had a significant effect on the incidence of malaria? If the USA could eradicate malaria, why can't the same techniques be used in Africa? Dr Taylor quickly comes to the conclusion that DDT should be un-banned and used in Africa. So why was it banned in the first place? He finds that the US commission that looked into the safety and effectiveness of DDT, in the early 70s, declared it not only safe but an essential chemical. But their findings were overruled, without explanation. When he tries to investigate further, all official channels are closed off to him. We are left with the conclusion that someone, somewhere, is happy for Africa to suffer a million avoidable deaths every year. This sounds as though the film is sombre, but in fact it is not. It gives hope for the future, although it is clear that top-down action is not going to happen on its own. A grass-roots, bottom-up movement must build, telling the politicians that enough is enough: a solution is available, cheap and effective, and the environmentalist dogmatism that led to the current situation must be jettisoned, otherwise the greatest genocide in human history will continue.
User Review - 10/10 by S DI saw a preview of this movie at a Q@A screening in LA. The director was there...he seems like a very legitimate, sincere guy. From what he was saying I think the making of this documentary had quite an impact on him. He started off as a total sceptic, believing that DDT was toxic....imagine his surprise finding those hearing papers, some 9000 odd pages. I heard there are scientists all over the world looking to track those papers down. And this guy found them! So, what was the documentary like? Lots of information, plenty of stuff I never knew about was just laid bare. I thought it was just going to be about malaria....did I get more than I bargained for...government agendas, scams, organic food (I didn't know that stuff was prayed with stuff like arsenic!), plus a few shocks. There were some light hearted moments too. I was riveted the whole time I was there. I reckon I need to see it again a few times..this film goes way beyond malaria.
User Review - 10/10 by Grace BThis is the film which shows how one person can make a difference for or against. On the "for" side you have Dr. Taylor who spearheads the search for the truth, openness, and the realization that it is indeed that one person, who makes the difference That one person who may be the catalyst for the realization of Truth. A perception of Man as Divine. That one person who was sacrificed on the alter of intellect, could be the very one who needed to shift the balance of power. On the other side you have William Ruckelshaus who introduces us to the establishments attempt to replace the perception of Man as Divine with Man as Beast, who needs to be controlled, programmed and enslaved. Whom do you say you are or do you just hand the reins over and let them dictate to you, through policy who you are?
User Review - 10/10 by Jennifer Larson Hutch MEveryone should see this film. It's shocking to learn how many people are dying from Malaria when there is a simple preventative. This film also encourages us to ask more questions, not just follow. Thank goodness for Dr Taylor for taking the time, money, energy to bring this to our attention. Now that we know, there IS something we can do about it - Pass it ON, find a way to see the film.
User Review - 10/10 by Beverly MGreat film! This documentary by Dr. Taylor does an Amazing job of presenting the facts about the banning of DDT in the 1970's: educates but doesn't scare! I highly recommend! Once you KNOW THE TRUTH, you can never UNKNOW iT! The myths, lies, coverups, surrounding the EPA's ban are brought to light.
