SHOT IN THE ARM SYNOPSIS In the spring of 2019, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Scott Hamilton Kennedy began investigating a global measles epidemic. He filmed with both top public health officials working to halt the epidemic and ‘anti-vaxxers’ who were persuading millions of parents to refuse vaccines for their children. Then COVID-19 happened. Acting quickly, Kennedy shifted his focus to this once-in-a-century tragedy. Both skeptical and hopeful, Shot in the Arm, executive produced by Neil deGrasse Tyson, asks one of the most pressing questions of our time: can we replace cynicism with healthy curiosity and bridge the divides that make us sick?
