Is this movie going to be available as a video? I would love to buy it. I can't make it to Texas. Movies descibing the events around Alex Spourdalakis and his caregivers is an important vehicle to get the message out about the realities of dealing with an autistic human being. Maybe it could be shown on TV soon. I also wished there were more accounts of real live family situations that show the misunderstanding of what the general public thinks autism is, and the isolation that is inherent in being a family member of an autistic child. Families with autism are often ostracized by their own close relations which exacerbates the already problematic circumstances.

Thankyou Barry for saying it perfectly for all of us.
I am going to talk about another person , who I believe was also a victim of mainstream medicine. Some people are not going to like this, but I believe that anyone who has had his mind altered by medicine, should receive sympathy. That person is now known as the Unibomber. If this account is incorrect, please give your comments. As I read the account, the small boy who later became a recluse and the Unibomber, was a normal child until hospitalized at age one or two. His parents were not allowed to visit him in the hospital and this lasted for 10 days. When he returned home his mother found him to be limp and lifeless. Naturally it was assumed that this was due to the trauma of not seeing his parents, but I think anyone on this website can imagine the reality- a small sick child- administered a series of gamma glubulin injections with high mercury content.The ethylmercury crossing the blood brain barrier easily, and transforming into a more toxic form of mercury....... The result?- a mind and behavior aftered permanently , ending in his murdering people through parcel bombs , and his incarceration in a maximum security prison. Locked up and forgotten. One more innocent child, destroyed by mainstream medicine. Does it matter that they did not intend to ? Let the mercury- genocide end.

Main stream medicine kills each year over 200 000 of Americans and it is now the 3rd major cause od death in the US. Killing and maiming children with vaccines is the most profitable business of pharma-mafias, corrupt US bureaucrats and politicians. Fortunately more and more parents reject all vaccines now as a greatest evil of medicine.

This is a very sad story. There was a murder suicide in one of the schools I worked at and the young boy had autism. This will get worse unless someone stops the madness to really understand what is happening.

Movie screenings in general are out for me, and otherwise I wonder if I could find anyone in the area where I live who would watch this with me, but if anyone is wanting to get to a screening and might need some help I have a little I would be happy to chip in. This story is as important as it is difficult to view, and probably one to not watch alone, even for someone as asocial as myself, but that aside, I'm still hoping this will be released to DVD or online.
I'm grateful to Dr. Wakefield and those who shouldered this effort.

Please don't give up on this. Thank you. What happened to Alex and his mother and his godmother, is in every severely affected autistic teenager's parent's and grandparent's nightmares. Oh, spread the news. It CAN happen to you.

Main stream medicine killed Alex Spourdalakis.
And the suffering of thousands truly is represented by the torture of this beautiful child.
God rest his innocent soul.

I would love to see this film but doubt anyone else in my area would want to. This is about as an uncomfortable story as one could imagine.
If someone is in Northeast Ohio and wants to try and have a screening let me know.
What has happened with Dorothy and the God mother? Another autism tragedy that has faded into oblivion.
Just like Sky Walker.

It is an heroic act to tell this story. It is not the easy path and it deserves every support.

I will be attending in the Chicago area. The message of this story, this film, is significant. It is about the science, the politics, the ignorance and the denial of truth.
The suffering of thousands are represented in this tragedy, like my daughter, Megan. We can't be quiet.
Much support and thanks to Dr. Wakefield and Autism Media Channel.
