HEALTH FOR SALE
This brand new film tells the inside story of Big Pharma, the ten largest pharmaceutical makers who account for 500 billion dollars of world health spending a year and whose 205 billion dollars in pre-tax profits were more than the profits of the 490 other Fortune 500 companies combined. Experts from all sides debate the impact of the patenting of "intellectual property" by these drug companies and the impact on global public health of their pricing and new product development strategies. These policies, according to Nobel Prize winning economist and former World Bank Chief Economist, Joseph Stiglitz, "are condemning billions of the world's poorest citizens to death."
Wheelchair accessible around the block at 411 28th Street
Before and after the film, everyone's invited to indulge in our Humanist organic vegetarian refreshments
$5 donations are accepted
