As Prescribed

As Prescribed is a heart-wrenching gut-punch, lifting the veil of the hidden benzodiazepine epidemic — benzodiazepines like Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, and Valium. The film follows the inspiring story of Boston-based survivor Geraldine Burns as she leads a David vs. Goliath effort for patients' rights. Powerful and nuanced, the film reveals the mind-numbing injustice that thwarts hoped-for change, as well as the stirring collective will of the pharmaceutically harmed, demanding to be heard.
