A movie not to be missed…

You have a super chance to see this tonight at the Community Theatre – it’s the Friday Harbor premiere showing of Rob Michaan’s documentary ‘Cut Poison Burn.’ If cancer has touched your life, then this will help fill in some of the gaps in understanding you may have….
The show is at 7pm, with donations to the Food Bank accepted. Here’s more from Jane Buck, with the film’s trailer below:
Rob Michaan was a passionate soul. When he became aware of what he saw as the injustice, collusion and negative manipulation that was causing such great harm and heart wrenching distress to those of us in need of medical help, Rob took action in deed and with fortune to shed light on this darkness.
Rob became dedicated to the creation of a movie that would shed awareness about this diseased aspect of the healthcare industry. He knew that it was not enough to just complain to others about what he saw. Rob’s compassion for freedom and his distain for the arrogance of over-reaching American “revolving door” political power and greed, compelled him to financially support and be directly involved with birthing this movie called ‘Cut Poison Burn’.
Rob’s calling resulted in the cooperation of playwright Louis Peter Cimino, Emmy award winning director Wayne Chesler, accomplished actor, author, director and narrator, Peter Coyote, and the plight of Donna and Jim Navarro and their son, Thomas.
This documentary is a chronicle of the journey through the history of cancer treatment, and the politics of who has a right to use available methods and who doesn’t. The film takes no sides; it simply reveals the facts of what is legal and what is not, what has worked and what has failed, and investigates the money trail connected to each.
This is a film that could save your life, the life of a loved one and hopefully many lives.
