Health Advocates Take Their Message to the Big Screen

Madison, WI (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- The pharmaceutical industry dominates television's small screen with its parade of beautiful drug ads, but the big screen has become the medium of choice for those working to prompt change during the nation's health care crisis. Maverick filmmakers Michael Moore and Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau are among the health advocates leading this charge. Their films expose the issues American consumers are facing today as they navigate the broken health care system.

Moore's film Sicko, due out on June 29, is receiving accolades for bringing the discussion about health care reform into the spotlight for consumers and legislators alike, and spreading a message of change. Similarly, Slattery-Moschkau's films, Side Effects (starring Katherine Heigl) and Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety have received international acclaim and are being used as important resources among consumers, medical schools, health and wellness organizations and doctors across the country. Her films encourage people to ask better questions about their prescription drugs and explore alternative health and prevention solutions.

"Using film allowed me to both entertain and educate, and ultimately show people what this world looks like behind the scenes," said Slattery-Moschkau. "Making movies on these issues allowed us to raise awareness in a way that no other medium could."

What separates Slattery-Moschkau from Moore is the insider information and unique perspective she provides after working as a drug sales rep for nearly a decade, speaking to leading medical experts and organizations across the country, and sharing life-saving health advice on her nationally syndicated radio show The Kathleen Show. News organizations like the New York Times, NBC Nightly News, CBS News, CNN, The Economist, The Lancet and USA Today, as well as more than 100 other media outlets worldwide have turned to her for real advice on how people can become better consumers and take control of their health.

In polls, health care routinely ranks among the public's top domestic concerns and health care reform is expected to be an important theme in the presidential campaign for 2008.
