The Santa Monica Film Festival is set to host the premiere of “Follow the Silenced,” a documentary exploring the human impact of censorship and COVID-19 vaccine injuries, on March 15, 2025. The film delves into the experiences of individuals across the United States who suffered significant injuries immediately after receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations. Over a three-year period, the filmmakers uncovered efforts to conceal the extent of these vaccine-related injuries, leading to a broader examination of the nation’s healthcare system and federal regulatory agencies.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free.

Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

The film follows affected individuals as they seek proper medical care, only to confront systemic challenges within healthcare institutions and regulatory bodies. In response to these obstacles, the injured formed REACT19, a community dedicated to mutual support, uncovering the causes of their conditions, conducting research, and pursuing treatments to restore their health.
The premiere will take place at the Directors Guild of America (DGA) Theater Complex in Hollywood, California, with the screening beginning at 11:00 AM. Following the film, a panel discussion moderated by Livio Sanchez will feature filmmaker Mikki Willis, along with Matthew Guthrie, Brianne Dressen, and Steve Kirsch. A VIP reception in the atrium will provide an opportunity to meet the filmmakers, cast, and crew.
