“Manhattan Film Festival strongly feels that part of the role of an independent film festival is to spark debate and give filmmakers a platform. It is not to limit their first amendment right of free speech, nor is it supposed to be the main stream media. Over the weekend I was able to view the much talked about film “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.”
After following this story closely, I wonder if many of the writers covering the story actually watched the film. The rate of Autism is a serious topic and needs to be addressed. There is nothing more important in this world than our children. I never understood this until becoming a father. We should be open to transparent discussion when it comes to their health. I am thankful the Vaxxed team accepted our invitation to screen closing day of the 10th annual Manhattan Film Festival.”

Oh, and thank you Philip for having a pair and giving the finger to the bullies and halfwits in the msm.
Be great if Bob would let us all know who was behind the pulling of Vaxxed. I heard it was a major funder, Sloan org from a post just after Tribeca caved.
De Niro, school’s in session. Yes little Bobby, you can bring your blanky.
