THE BLEEDING EDGE
America has the most technologically advanced health care system in the world, yet preventable medical harm has become one of the leading causes of death and the overwhelming majority of high-risk implanted devices never require a single clinical trial.
SYNOPSIS
In THE BLEEDING EDGE, Academy Award©-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering (THE INVISIBLE WAR, THE HUNTING GROUND) turn their sights on the $400 billion medical device industry, examining lax regulations, corporate cover-ups and profit-driven incentives that put patients at risk daily.
Weaving emotionally powerful stories of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed, the film asks: what life-saving technologies may actually be killing us?
