About the Film
In the spring of 2019, before anyone had heard of COVID-19, filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy (THE GARDEN, FOOD EVOLUTION) began investigating the global measles epidemic. Filming with top public health officials–including Tony Fauci, Paul Offit, and Peter Hotez–as well as rare interviews with anti-vaccine activists - like Robert Kennedy, Jr., Andrew Wakefield, and Del Bigtree - who were persuading parents by the millions to refuse vaccines for their children. This film describes the rhetoric used by supporters of "medical freedom" who encouraged the public to protest against masks, lockdowns, and the availability of life-saving COVID vaccines. Both skeptical and hopeful, SHOT IN THE ARM explores vaccine hesitancy historically and in the context of our modern pandemic.
