A new documentary offers a never-before-seen look into one of the most contentious moments in recent scientific history. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a group of prominent scientists challenged the prevailing government approach to lockdowns. Instead of being welcomed into the scientific debate, they claimed they were sidelined and censored.
The documentary features dissident scientists such as current NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, former White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas and former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, as well as interviews with journalists David Zweig and Editorial Features Editor for WSJ Opinion James Taranto, both of whom also questioned the mainstream narrative surrounding the government’s COVID response.
“While many Americans would rather forget COVID, treating it as just a bad distant memory, we need to learn from what went wrong so that it never happens again, and especially that Americans never sacrifice their unalienable rights due to government pressure,” said Michael Pack, Palladium Pictures’s President, “With the rise of hantavirus, this documentary is more relevant than ever.”
Michael Pack produced and directed the flim, which is the latest addition to WSJ Opinion Docs, a series of documentary films produced by a collaboration between The Wall Street Journal Opinion and Palladium Pictures, an independent production company.
