Description
MAKING A KILLING exposes Philip Morris/Altria’s deadly abuses. This half-hour film shows how the tobacco giant uses its political power, size and marketing skill to spread tobacco addiction internationally, leaving in its wake a trail of death and disease.
Making a Killing uses once-secret corporate documents to show Philip Morris/Altria’s role in the tobacco industry’s deceptive and deadly history. The documentary shows how the corporation hooks children on tobacco and interferes with government attempts to protect public health. It exposes the aggressive advertising and promotional tactics Philip Morris/Altria uses, including footage of cigarette giveaways the corporation claimed to have stopped. Making a Killing also examines how Philip Morris/Altria uses its Kraft Foods subsidiary to influence media coverage and to gain political leverage in its fight against public health regulation, and how consumers pressured the corporation through the Kraft Boycott. This hard – hitting documentary serves as a call to join the growing grassroots movement to counter corporate power and save lives. Order your copy today on DVD.
