California High presents a balanced look at the intense controversy over the legalization of marijuana and its wide-ranging consequences. When California voters passed the first medical marijuana laws in 1996, it sparked a chain reaction that led to 18 other states enacting similar laws. Four states have since legalized marijuana for recreational use. With a statewide vote expected on legalization in November 2016, California is now considered the key battleground in the national marijuana debate. The results of the vote in the largest state in the nation will likely have far-reaching implications for America and possibly the world. California High journeys from the indoor grow rooms of Los Angeles to the remote mountains of Humboldt to present the perspectives of people on all sides of the debate - medical marijuana dispensaries, addiction specialists, lawyers, doctors, leaders of major advocacy groups, government officials, and ordinary Californians. The film begins by exploring how California's medical marijuana laws have been interpreted and have worked, including the wide variety of marijuana products - from breath mints to bagel bites - now available in thousands of state dispensaries. It also explores the disputes over the medical value of marijuana and the anticipated impact legalization will have on usage, as well as looking back at the history of marijuana laws and usage in the United States. As the film shows, this is a debate with no easy answers and even some surprises -- many of the people against the legalization of marijuana are those now growing and selling medicinal pot.

The Dark Side of a Pill an exclusive, case-driven investigation into the one of the medical success stories of our time. One in ten adults in the Western world is on antidepressants. With global sales of approximately 20 billion dollars, these prescription drugs are among the most lucrative products of the medical industry. But the wonder drug has a dark side. In the US, David had never had a record of violence nor problems with the police, until suddenly he committed a terrible crime just days after taking antidepressants: he stabbed and killed his twin daughters. In Canada, a grieving mother is distraught that her son’s killer was released from prison after a short 14-month sentence. The judge ruled that Prozac was to blame for her son’s death. In Germany a wife and loving mother committed suicide just weeks after beginning to take Prozac. Her husband is convinced that there a link between suicide and antidepressants. Is he right? In Holland an extraordinary court case could change the way that Europe sees antidepressants. The case is considering the possibility that a murderer be acquitted for his crime because he was involuntary intoxicated by antidepressants. Could there actually be a connection between antidepressants and violence? Is it possible that this connection has long been known, even before the pills were approved? This is not a film that is for or against antidepressants. It is about informed consent and about openly acknowledging the real problems with medicating 10 to 15 percent of the population with a drug that changes the chemistry of the brain with an effect that at times can be overwhelming, even fatal.

Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare tackles one of the most pressing issues of our time: how can we save our badly broken healthcare system? American healthcare costs are rising so rapidly that they could reach $4.2 trillion annually, roughly 20% of our gross domestic product, within ten years. We spend $300 billion a year on pharmaceutical drugs - almost as much as the rest of the world combined. We pay more, yet our health outcomes are worse. About 65% of Americans are overweight and almost 75% of healthcare costs are spent on preventable diseases that are the major causes of disability and death in our society. General Audience

As part of the World Congress of Bioethics' conference, this classic program features Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., the American physician-geneticist who is known for his discoveries of disease genes, as well as being the leader of the Human Genome Project (HGP). Although he left the National Human Genome Research Institute in 2008, this program documents his keynote address as the director of the NHGRI at this important event. Here he underscores the importance of having reliable data before making recommendations; he discusses parallels between hereditary prostate and breast cancer; he asks if effective legislative solutions to genetic discrimination will be found? Also he warns about insurance and other health-related companies using personal medical information against individuals.
