IN RELEASE
GOOD PEOPLE GO TO HELL,
SAVED PEOPLE GO TO HEAVEN
Explore the complex world of evangelical End Times belief and culture set against a backdrop of coastal devastation and apocalyptic fear. In the years following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Director Holly Hardman focuses her lens on a fundamentalist cross-carrier, a fervent youth choir leader, and a fascinating collection of their born-again brethren along the Gulf Coast. All believe that God sent the hurricanes of 2005 to punish America for its sinful ways. And all share a desire to prepare themselves and the world for the End Times and the rapture.

Who knew a little pill could cause so much damage?
There is a formidable health epidemic in our midst. Its sufferers tend to be “good patients” following doctors’ orders. Perhaps their doctors prescribed Ativan, Xanax, Valium, or Klonopin --common names for a class of anxiolytic drugs known as benzodiazepines. Perhaps the drug was given to calm nerves, promote sleep, balance moods, or just to make life a little easier. Too often these good patients begin to experience strange symptoms and develop mysterious illnesses that plague them for years, upending their lives. Too often they are told that the drugs could not be their problem. By following personal stories and investigating growing medical evidence, As Prescribed questions the prescribing practices and consequences of these popular, not-so-innocent drugs.
