DESCRIPTION:Burzynski is the story of a pioneering medical doctor and biochemist who 
 discovered a genetic cure for many human cancers. This documentary shows 
 the treacherous 14-year journey Dr. Burzynski and his patients endured to 
 obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of Antineoplastons – resulting in the 
 largest and most convoluted defeat against the Food and Drug Administration 
 in American history.
\n106 min.
 
\n\n“Eric Merola, presents Dr. 
 Burzynski as a stoic victim of patent fraud, government harassment and 
 scientific sabotage. No one appears to contest the efficacy of his 
 treatment; the problem, the film suggests, is a pharmaceutical industry 
 with nothing to gain — and much to lose — from the introduction of a 
 highly successful, nontoxic competitor to chemotherapy and radiation.”    
   \nNew York Times
 
\n\n“A dramatic expose of the FDA and its 
 incestuous relationship with Big Pharma as it seeks to first discredit, 
 then co-opt Burzynski's discovery.”\nVariety\n\n"The movie brings up 
 questions that must be asked about the collusion between our government, 
 drug companies, the FDA and some very large institutions supposedly 
 dedicated to conquering cancer." \n
James van Maanen, Trust Movies
 
 
\n\n"All the major elements of what is wrong with modern medicine are 
 present – the overwhelming official prejudice against novelty from 
 outside the system, the distrust of independent unorthodox practitioners 
 and the heartfelt testimony of their patients, the devotion of power to the 
 defense of current treatment even though it achieves little and imposes its 
 own horrendous torment on patients, and the immense influence of pharma on 
 regulating officials who tend to end up with jobs in industry after they 
 serve in government."
\nScience Guardian
 
\n\n"The film offers a 
 jolting examination of the hideous collusion between federal agencies and 
 the pharmaceutical industry. In their partnership, profits and ego 
 massaging takes priority over the treatment of the terminally 
 ill."\n
