Killer at Large
Obesity rates in the United States have reached epidemic
proportions in recent years. Killer at Large shows how little is being
done and more importantly, what can be done to reverse it. Killer at
Large also explores the human element of the problem with portions of
the film that follow a 12-year old girl who has a controversial
liposuction procedure to fix her weight gain and a number of others
suffering .
The Centers fo Diseas Control estimate that at least 110,000 people die per year due to obesity and 1/3 of all cancer deaths are directly related to it. Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona remarked that obesity is a more pressing isssue than terrorism, " Obesity is a terror within and unless we do something about it, the magnitude of the dilemma will dwarf 9/11 or any other terrorist event that you can point out.." From our human evolution and our changing enviroment to the way our goverment's public policies are actually causing obesity.
The film features interviews and covers events with such notable public figures as Former President
Clinton, Ralf Nader, Senators Tom Harking and Sam Brownback, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Former Surgeon General Richard Carmona and a number of bestselling authors and renowned experts like Michael Pollan, Barry Glassner, Dr Kelly Brownell, Dr Barry Popkin and many others.
