WELCOME Greetings Missoula, filmmakers and documentary fans, On behalf of the Big Sky Film Institute, welcome to the 15th Annual Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! This year we revel in a milestone, fifteen years of celebrating documentary film and its power to gather, inform, engage, educate and entertain. It is with immense gratitude to the hundreds of filmmakers, thousands of fans, and most especially the community of Missoula, that we cross this exciting threshold and charge ahead with fresh perspective. We are pleased to feature over 170 exceptional films, selected from an unprec- edented 2,000 submissions from all over the world, exploring visionary stories of humanity, activism, perseverance, innovation and a changing planet. Big Sky will venture into new mediums, presenting audio documentaries in a collective listening session, and virtual reality stories from the far side of the world. We are honored to feature two retrospective programs including the much-lauded non- fiction luminary Kirby Dick and veteran documentary filmmaker Greg Barker. 2018 also marks the launch of the Native Filmmaker Initiative, elevating a long tradition of celebrating Indigenous documentary film. In ad- dition, the 2018 DocShop will spotlight the intersection of film and technolo- gy, exploring the mechanics and innovations of a rapidly changing medium. Contemporary storytelling is increasingly influenced by gadgets and gizmos, however, as depicted by the woman on the cover of this program, the passion and inspiration in documentary film still comes from the heart. Documentaries today have the potential to be innovative in their use of technology and push boundaries with the stories they tell. As film technology advances, so too does the human ingenuity to build resiliency of character and provide a roadmap for the way forward in a changing world.

SHORT SYNOPSIS IN THE SAME BREATH, directed by Nanfu Wang (“One Child Nation”), recounts the origin and spread of the novel coronavirus from the earliest days of the outbreak in Wuhan to its rampage across the United States. In a deeply personal approach, Wang, who was born in China and now lives in the United States, explores the parallel campaigns of misinformation waged by leadership and the devastating impact on citizens of both countries. Emotional first-hand accounts and startling, on-the-ground footage weave a revelatory picture of cover-ups and misinformation while also highlighting the strength and resilience of the healthcare workers, activists and family members who risked everything to communicate the truth. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I spent a lot of my childhood in hospitals taking care of my father, who had rheumatic heart disease.

    Ethics After Hours the Bleeding Edge

    Ethics After Hours The Bleeding Edge Documentary _________________________________________________________________ Summary1 Medical devices can save lives, help us live longer, and improve our quality of life. In The Bleeding Edge, Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering and Amy Herdy explore how lax regulations, corporate cover-ups and the drive for profit in the medical device industry may put patients at risk. The program features cases where medical devices such as Essure (a permanent birth control device), vaginal mesh, the DaVinci Surgical System, and chrome-cobalt hip- replacements have caused irrevocable harm to patients. Director: Kirby Dick Producer: Amy Ziering and Amy Herdy Released: April 21, 2018 Available on Netflix Duration: 1 hours 40 Mins. Discussion questions: • What was your initial reaction to this documentary? • In your opinion, what are the ethical responsibilities of the medical device industry, the medical community, and the government in ensuring patient safety regarding medical devices through approval, usage guidelines, and reporting of adverse events? • Should health care providers be better educated about the approval processes for drugs and medical devices? • According to the documentary, pre-market approval (PMA) for medical devices requires only one clinical trial or study. o Did it surprise you that the approval for medical devices requires fewer steps than the approval of new drugs? o Discuss various reasons for this difference in approval process. Do you believe that it is justified? • What type of regulatory and non-regulatory measures do you think could help alleviate the problems around patient safety outlined in the documentary? 1 This summary is adapted from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bleeding_Edge and Netflix’s website.

    1 the Bleeding Edge, ​An Independent Documentary Directed

    1 The Bleeding Edge, an independent documentary directed by Kirby Dick and produced ​ by Amy Ziering through their production company, Chain Camera Pictures, unearths systematic corruption within the “$400 billion medical device industry” (The Bleeding Edge 2018). The film takes a deep dive into the healthcare impacts of medical device “innovation” (Dick 2018). Both Dick and Ziering specialize in investigative journalism and documentary having produced the Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated documentary, The Invisible War (The ​ ​ Bleeding Edge 2018). In all of their documentaries, Dick and Ziering focus on issues of “breaking news,” aiming to inform public opinion, and influence policy (Fuchs 2018). According to Ziering, in an interview by No Film School, when she and Dick decide to make a film they “first get intrigued, then outraged, and then [they] decide to make a movie” (Buder 2018). In the case of The Bleeding ​ Edge, the topic of the film arose when one of Chain Camera Picture’s producers, Amy Herdy, ​ came forward with “this crazy story” about one of her neighbors, who had experienced complications due to an untested medical device (Buder 2018). The disbelief following the ​ ​ interview resulted in an in-depth investigation into this “breaking news,” where research was conducted, and interviews with survivors, professionals, scholars, and doctors were recorded (Fuchs 2018). This information was then synthesized and analyzed, before getting compiled into a commercially consumable film that informs the public of the fractured health system that “has devolved into [a] business” (Fuchs 2018) The Bleeding Edge is an independent film, meaning that,t was not produced in ​ ​ ​ Hollywood and is not backed by any super PACs or the government (Grove 2014).

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.
