EDGE
Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering's Searing Exposé of the Unregulated, Multi-Billion Dollar Medical Device Industry
**Premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival

“A terrifying eye-opener.”- The Hollywood Reporter
America has the most technologically advanced health care system in the world, yet medical interventions have become the third leading cause of death, and the overwhelming majority of high-risk implanted devices never require a single clinical trial. In THE BLEEDING EDGE, Academy Award® nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering (THE INVISIBLE WAR, THE HUNTING GROUND) turn their sights on the $400 billion medical device industry, examining lax regulations, corporate cover-ups, and profit driven incentives that put patients at risk daily. Weaving emotionally powerful stories of people whose lives have been irrevocably harmed, the film asks: what life-saving technologies may actually be killing us?
