Generation Rx the film's Blurbs |
About me:
Kevin P. Miller began ardently pursuing investigative journalism
in high school
and college, where he won over two dozen
awards for his writing. When he
"turned pro," the awards continued,
beginning with his first film Kids in Crisis in
1990.
With Generation RX, Miller's roots go back
to when he first witnessed a video of
'real people' alerting government officials
to the dangers of antidepressant
medications. "I saw a video of people testifying
before the FDA in 1991 about
Prozac," he said. "I was so moved by the power
of their personal stories, but
apparently the FDA was not.
They dismissed the facts laid out by dozens of
people as 'anecdotal and unscientific.'
I knew then that someday I would produce a film
like Generation RX, and that
I would give those Americans the opportunity
to tell their stories." Kevin P.
Miller
In the 1990s, Kevin P. Miller began producing documentaries
about the great
social issues of our time. He was rewarded
with numerous international film
and television awards - and the commendations of critics. His film The
Promised Land
not only won international accolades, but more importantly to
Miller, helped raise nearly $1 million in donations from a live TV audience for
the homeless,
including homeless war veterans. The Promised Land garnered a
Bronze Medal in the category of International
TV Programming from the New
York International Film and Television Festival,
and was nominated for a
national Emmy award as well.
He followed with an award-winning documentary
The War Within, a film about
race relations, and another international award-winner,
Let Truth Be The Bias, which was narrated by actor James Earl Jones. In 2005, Miller produced
We Become Silent,
a film about Codex Alimentarius and "free trade," which was narrated by British actress Judi Dench.
"I learned at a very young
age that I was blessed with the ability to write, to
tell powerful stories,"
Miller said recently. "So I decided long ago that I would
use those gifts to produce films that others might shy
away from. Sometimes
the issues are challenging and difficult.
Sometimes the and stories are tragic -
things we'd rather not discuss. But discuss them we must."
In 2006, Miller began a partnership with Common Radius Films
of Vancouver,
British Columbia. He has two sons and lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
GENERATION RX has already garnered the support of some of the most respected names in Hollywood, including writer/director Paul Haggis, who won back-to-back Academy Awards for "Million Dollar Baby," and "Crash." GENERATION RX, Mr. Haggis said, "is a powerful and often chilling eye-opener.
For decades, scores of doctors, government officials, journalists, and others have extolled the benefits of psychiatric medicines for children. GENERATION RX presents "the rest of the story" and unveils how this era of unprecedented change in Western culture really occurred - and what price has been paid by our society.
International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller (Let Truth Be The Bias, The Promised Land) "delivers a jaw-dropping emotional ride," and "weaves a terrifying tale of criminal conspiracy, the mass abandonment of medical ethics, and the routine betrayal of an entire generation." By employing the expertise of internationally respected professionals from the fields of medicine, ethics, journalism, and academia, GENERATION RX investigates collusion between drug companies and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA and focuses on the powerful stories of real families who followed the advice of their doctors - and faced devastating consequences for doing so.
GENERATION RX is a film about families who confronted horror and found nowhere to turn for help - and how scores of children have been caught in the vortex of mind-bending drugs at the earliest stages of their growth and development. This powerful documentary also questions whether we have forced millions of children onto pharmaceutical drugs for commercial rather than scientific reasons.
Ultimately, Generation RX may help parents decide whether the perceived benefits of these medications outweigh the serious risks to children.
"GENERATION RX is a film that every parent should see," says Jason Buchanan of ALL MOVIE GUIDE.
