In The Bleeding Edge, Academy Award-nominated investigative filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering turn their sights on the $400 billion medical device industry; examining lax regulations, corporate cover-ups, and profit-driven incentives that put patients at risk in the US context. Weaving emotionally powerful stories of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed, the film asks: what life-saving technologies may actually be killing us? The documentary explores Bayer’s permanent birth control device Essure, vaginal mesh, the Da Vinci Surgical System, and chrome-cobalt hip-replacements.Come along to a free community screening of The Bleeding Edge documentary on medical device injury.
The documentary screening will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&As.
Confirmed members of the panel are:
- Joanne McCarthy (Journalist reporting on the topic)
- Professor Anand Deva (Macquarie University)
- Justine Watson (Co-founder of Mesh Injured Australia)
- Carmen Huckel Schneider (Menzies Institute)
The screening will be followed with a light lunch, giving attendees the chance to talk to the panel members and each other.
