To Whom It May Concern
In the healthcare debate leading up to the Affordable Care Act, the health impacts and cost of pharmaceuticals were largely ignored. Our documentary Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety is an important resource to stimulate dialogue about the safety and cost of pharmaceuticals in the US.
Money Talks takes a riveting look at the multifaceted relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and our healthcare system. In 2008 the American Library Association honored Money Talks as one of its 15 “Notable Videos for Adults,” saying it “Should be required viewing." [4]
Money Talks (50 min) establishes a context for students to explore complex ethical, educational, and scientific issues facing us today, such as the recent US Supreme Court ruling to protect generic drug manufacturers instead of patients [1], universities entering into research partnerships with major drug companies [2], and Congress introducing competitive drug pricing legislation for Medicare [3]. Money Talks has inspired powerful discussions in medical ethics, law, public policy, nursing, and pharmacology classes across the country.
Please take a look at the Money Talks and consider buying a copy for your library.
"Viewers will be forever changed in their perception of the pharmaceutical industry." -Bradley Lewis, M.D. Ph.D., NYU "A chilling documentary" - Marilynn Larkin, The Lancet **Also available for a limited time is our special offer of both Money Talks and its sister film and book, Side Effects.** Side Effects, a “smart and sexy” comedy about a pharmaceutical saleswoman, starring Katherine Heigl, will have students laughing as they contemplate the moral, legal, and medical ambiguities of working for a major drug company. Jeanne Lenzer from the British Medical Journal called the film "savagely funny." [5] These films will inspire dialogue among current and future physicians, nurses, ethicists, lawyers, policy makers, pharmacists, and healthcare consumers in your educational community.
