CONTROVERSIAL AWARD WINNING ANTI SMOKING MOVIE HATED BY BIG TOBACCO!
“A BILLION LIVES” THE AWARD-WINNING E-CIGARETTE CONSPIRACY MOVIE ARRIVES IN AUSTRALIA
Imagine a quit-smoking tool with an unprecedented success rate that is described by public-health authorities and experts as “at least 95 percent safer than smoking.” Imagine if the government banned it. Imagine if people were now dying because of that decision. Imagine if it were happening here in Australia.
A new conspiracy movie, A Billion Lives, will have its SOLD OUT premier at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival this Sunday 10th July at 9pm at the Howler Art Space, 7-11 Dawson St, Brunswick, Melbourne. It features an Australian medical doctor and business owner who had his house raided by authorities after starting a business that helped hundreds of Australians quit smoking.

It's even more shocking because some governments, including the EU and UK, have approved e-cigarettes, and more than 15 million people worldwide have used them to stop smoking so far. Meanwhile, some governments, including in Australia, are imposing bans on 'vaping' (as the use of e-cigarettes is known).
The makers of A Billion Lives smelled a conspiracy. “According to the World Health Organisation, we know a billion people are set to die this century from smoking and smoking-related illness,” said the film’s Director Aaron Biebert. “And the Royal College of Physicians in the UK has said e-cigarettes are much safer than smoking and smokers should be encouraged to use them.
“So we have a cheap, effective mechanism to help people stop smoking – e-cigarettes - and yet that mechanism is being withheld in places including Australia. “Quitting smoking is hard, and it fails the common sense test that you would ban something now proven to be a major help in stopping. “If it doesn’t make sense, then there must be another explanation. As the film shows, you are being lied to.”
Biebert says the best, most compelling conspiracies are the ones where you are asking reasonable questions and getting unreasonable answers, and this a movie about a situation that fits that bill.
The World Premiere of A Billion Lives was in New Zealand in the DocEdge Festival on May 11, 2016 and premiered at the Palace of Culture in June. Based on those screenings it already has a 9.9/10 rating on IMDB.
The SOLD OUT Australian premiere will show as part of The Melbourne Documentary Film Festival at 21:00 on Sunday 9 July 2016 at Howler in Brunswick. For press passes contact: info@mdff.org.au
