Invisible Threat
The film was produced by a group of award-winning high school students from Carlsbad High School in California. They set out to produce a documentary on the human immune system and uncovered a social controversy they didn’t know existed but.
The documentary has received praise from more than 50 organizations, including the Autism Science Foundation, the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Every Child By Two, calling the documentary "powerful," "fast-paced," "well-balanced” and “impeccably produced."
Carlsbad High School has one of the top broadcasting programs in the nation. The students went into this project as journalists - not for or against vaccines. They were looking to tell the truth and were shocked by what they discovered.
