Film project „Toxsick“ raising awareness

Featured Replies

https://www.toxsick.org

I saw an interview with Emma Hames , who has been severely hurt by benzodiazepines. This brave and creative woman is currently working on a film about her experiences.

It is going to be a global feature documentary about the devastating impact of prescription medicine

- specifically her own ten-year recovery from a neurological injury related to benzodiazepines, as well as broader pharmaceutical and environmental risks.

„Through her personal struggle, witness Emma's investigation into the world of prescribed benzodiazepines as she embarks upon a truth-seeking mission for answers, and shares the poignant stories of fellow individuals impacted by similar harrowing side effects that defy belief.“

She seems to be also seeking for financial support for the project.
