Andrew Wakefield has become the public face of the “Anti-Vax Movement,” one of today’s most intense medical controversies. This British doctor was discredited and stripped of his license following his infamous 1998 study suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease and autism spectrum disorder. Filmmaker Miranda Bailey follows Wakefield, now based in Texas, over a period of five years, beginning in 2011, as he fights in several courts during a defamation case against The British Medical Journal and British journalist Brian Deer. This full-access character study includes the members of the autism community who consider him a rock star, as well as the media and medical figures who condemn him. Executive Producer: Jennifer Fox. Director: Miranda Bailey. (US 2017) 93 min.
