As Prescribed: a documentary film by Holly Hardman

For over fifty years, doctors have been prescribing benzodiazepines. The drugs bear well-known names: Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan. They are commonly thought of as safe, helping to take the edge off or give a better night's sleep. As Prescribed, however, documents a strikingly different narrative. Through personal accounts and investigating mounting evidence, the film reveals the errant medical culture that promotes them. The result is the story of an epidemic that is devastating lives globally.

Judith Garber of the Lown Institute writes about AS PRESCRIBED

It’s time for an update on the progress of As Prescribed. We have the fine cut. After a series of virtual editing sessions on Zoom, we pared back our 100-minute rough cut to a 92-minute fine cut. Now I’m devoting my days to related post-production tasks: consults with our music composer, securing a studio for a high-quality affordable sound mix, finding an effects person for the film’s very last shot, arranging our color correct sessions, preparing titles and captions, and sorting out our deliverables   Cont.'d
