'A chemical lobotomy'

Generation Rx



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 featued 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."
