Congressmen Insert Documentary ‘WE BECOME
SILENT’ into the Congressional Debate on Free Trade and Codex
Two U.S. Congressmen confirm that WE BECOME SILENT, a
documentary by international award-winning filmmaker Kevin P.
Miller, was a critical part of the debate in Congress leading up to
the CAFTA vote.
(PRWEB) August 8, 2005 -- Two prominent Congressmen used a
controversial documentary to explain the threat to medical freedom
during the hotly contested vote on CAFTA, it was revealed this week.
As both sides jockeyed for votes, anti-CAFTA forces led by
Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) showcased WE BECOME SILENT, a
documentary by international award-winning filmmaker Kevin P.
Miller. The day of the CAFTA vote, 30-35 Congressional aides
attended a screening of the film at an event sponsored by The
Liberty Committee (www.thelibertycommittee.com).
Almost
simultaneously, Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) entered the
transcript of Miller’s film into the Congressional Record, saying
that WE BECOME SILENT clearly defined “the potential effects of the
Codex Alimentarius Commission's guidelines on vitamin and mineral
supplements." With its’ entry into the Congressional Record, WE
BECOME SILENT will forever be immortalized as part of the debate on
medical freedom of choice.
Filmmaker Miller did not expect
such an immediate response to his film, he said, but he was hopeful
that he could impact the debate and explain these complicated issues
to consumers in a way that they would understand. “I am humbled and
honored that these two distinguished Congressman included my film in
the important debate on free trade and Codex,” he said. “But I am
really most grateful to have produced a film that people worldwide
responded to in such positive ways. We all need to pull together and
ignore the toxic lies emanating from those who are trying to divide
the alternative medicine movement." Miller also encouraged people
worldwide to take action by "educating friends and neighbors about
the threats to health freedom not only via Codex, but also in
domestic legislation invloving dietary supplements and genetically
modified foods, which are based on phony science."
More than
80,000 people worldwide have seen WE BECOME SILENT at www.WellTV.com . Miller produced the film under
threat of lawsuits from one so-called ‘health freedom’ organization
who tried unsuccessfully to control the message of the film itself.
The award-winning producer stood firm, and produced the film based
solely on the merits of credible evidence. The result has been an
outpouring of support for both Miller and his film.
"My work
is really for real people who do not know how to fight back," Miller
says. "This film is for people around the globe who are not happy
with the dominance being exerted by Western Medicine — and
multinational corporations — over their daily lives. People from
around the world have told me that my film has motivated them to
take action, and for this, I am extremely grateful.”
WE
BECOME SILENT is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, one of the world’s
most distinguished actresses. It details the ongoing attempts by
multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies to
undercut the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.
It also tackles the immensely complicated issues of the dangers
consumers face from the EU Food Supplements Directive, the WTO, the
Codex Alimentarius Commission, and various free trade Agreements in
the United States.
Within months, he will be debuting a
weekly news/health program called HealthCenter on TV networks
internationally. The film is for sale at www.Amazon.com or at
www.WellTV.com
