Emma Hames - Director of TOXSICK
​
My journey into the heart of 'TOXSICK' began not in a studio or on a film set, but in the quieter, more personal spaces of life's unexpected challenges. It was my personal battle with the alarming effects of a widely prescribed medication that ignited this film and mission. Through combining analysis, creativity and impactful human stories, my aim is to not just inform, but to initiate a global conversation on patient safety and healthcare accountability. This film is a call to action, inviting viewers worldwide to join a movement towards a more informed and empathetic approach to medicine.
​
The film is also a beacon of hope to the millions taking / recovering from a prescription benzodiazepine, and the hundreds of millions struggling with trauma and adversity.
​
Never has it been more important for humans to come together for our collective wellness, and that of our planet.
​
Every conversation sparked, every story shared, adds to the collective push for change. If you feel moved by our mission, consider supporting our efforts here.
