The Bleeding Edge plot

"What You Don't Know Can Hurt You"

This documentary examines how the multi-billion dollar profit-driven US medical technology industry exposes patients to risk on a daily basis. America has the most technologically advanced healthcare system in the world, but medical interventions have become the fourth leading cause of death. The vast majority of high-risk implanted devices never require a single clinical trial. In “The Bleeding Edge”, filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering take a look at the $400 billion medical device industry, which confronts patients with everyday risks through lax regulations and profit-seeking.
