Original Idea and Director: Jon Kalina and Benjamin Dunfield

While vaccines have been heralded as the most important medical advance in the last century, a heated debate rages worldwide over their effectiveness and risks. A rise in autism and autoimmune diseases has fuelled many to shun vaccines, and this is not without consequences: a comeback of polio in Nigeria, measles in the UK. From a filmmaker who continues to vaccinate his autistic child, Vaccines on Trial explores the controversy from both sides, from collective vs. individual rights to the religious objections in developed and developing nations around the globe.
