‘First Do No Pharm’: New Documentary Exposes Big Pharma Corruption

“First Do No Pharm,” a documentary that premiered Sept. 23 in London’s Odeon theater, takes a deep dive into how pharmaceutical corporations unethically influence medical journals and regulatory agencies in ways that harm patients — while generating profits for themselves.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the U.K.-based cardiologist behind the film, told The Defender, “It’s a real eye-opener for people in the mainstream.”

The documentary included commentary from international doctors and public figures including Vandana Shiva, Ph.D., Dr. Satish Gupta, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kim Witczak, Jay Naidoo, Calley Means and others.

Malhotra said the film has received great reviews so far because it shows viewers the root of the problem but also offers solutions. The two-hour film is available for download for roughly $10.
