Letters From Generation Rx, Family Tragedies Mark the Dark Side of Psychiatric Drugs on DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE
Letters from Generation Rx, a powerful look at the mortal dangers for children who have been prescribed anti-depressant drugs.
LOS ANGELES, November 6, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Scientology Network’s DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents Letters from Generation Rx, a powerful look at the mortal dangers for children who have been prescribed anti-depressant drugs. The film premieres Nov. 9, 2018.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
Filmmaker Kevin P. Miller, an award-winning documentary writer and director, created Generation Rx 10 years ago to explore the effects of psychiatric drugs prescribed for children. The heartbreaking experiences described in that film led to stacks of letters from children and parents who shared their appalling experiences from prescribed medication — including those that turned normal people into killers.
Letters from Generation Rx, narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Tilda Swinton, presents these personal stories and reveals the latest research on the effects of anti-depressants on the brain. It includes an exclusive interview with Dr. Thomas Insel, former president of the National Institute of Mental Health, who admits that psychiatric drugs are a failure.
