Big Bucks, Big Pharma 45 minutes This new documentary looks at how illness is used, manipulated, and, in some instances, created by pharmaceutical companies to make greater profits.

The Origins of AIDS 90 minutes What was the cause of AIDS? Though it is widely agreed that Aids originated from Chimpanzees, how it came from the chimpanzees to men is hotly debated. This film provides strong evidence of scientists being inadvertently responsible.
