In The Shadow of Flexner (Trailer) - COMING TO ICKONIC.COM SATURDAY 3RD FEBRUARY

In the Shadow of Flexner is a groundbreaking documentary film by Justin Smith that exposes a century-old #corruption that forever altered the trajectory of #healthcare. At the heart of this riveting narrative lies the #FlexnerReport, a document published in 1910, whose insidious purpose was to eradicate all traces of natural medicine from the educational landscape. In an era when conventional doctors faced public skepticism, the Flexner Report became the tool of choice for industrial capitalists seeking to monopolise medicine.

With an intricate web of influence, orthodox physicians and profit-driven magnates embarked on a mission to discredit any therapeutic approach that did not involve drugs or surgery. The fallout of this Machiavellian maneuver was the sidelining of gentle, nature-aligned treatments in favour of a system that prioritises profit over patients.

Featuring: Dr. Jessica Braid, Dr. Suneel Dhand, Dr. Jenny Goodman, Dr. Daniel L. Kirsch, Dr. Sarah Myhil, Dr. David Unwin.

Written, produced, and directed by Justin Smith.

Hosted by Obhi Chatterjee.
