Vivid Dreams

I wish there was a way to avoid taking medicine all together! Natural herbs and remedies is the way to go. Who knows what we're actually doing to our bodies when we pop a tylenol every time we have a head-ache. In cases like this one where the drug is meant to protect you from malaria, I don't know what I would do. I want to join the Peace Corps and I know they do a lot of medical work to protect the volunteers ie: vaccines and preventative medicine-but that stuff freaks me out! Like I said, wish there was another way! This is a great video.

Amazing! Thanks Jim and Joan!

Terrific short documentary. Like a good short story, it developed Joan's character instantly, and delivered a powerful message through a very well-paced, visually engaging film. It makes you happy for Joan, sad for the others and asking the eternal 'why?'

Very informative! I was given that stuff when I went to China, but stopped taking it after the first dose because it made me feel too weird.......SO glad I did!!

Awesome film!

Jim & Joan, Nice job. Glad I finally got to see it. Albeit on the small screen...but in the safety of my home...cause there are crazy people out there.

Inspired film making, Jim. As usual, I'm thoroughly impressed. Controversial subject matter and great visuals.

Here's another "secret" of our so-called government of the people, by the people and for the people. Why weren't people told that the malaria medicine had strong possibilities of making people psychotic. The side effects, as disclosed by the Peace Corps, included "vivid dreams," which in the case of Joan, turned out to be psychotic episodes. Whatever happened of our government looking out for the wellbeing of our citizens. Another American myth gone by the wayside! Brave act by Joan to tell this very private story, and bring light to the little known facts of the drug given like aspirin by the Peace Corps.

Wow. Great short. Joan's story is really fascinating and disturbing.

I love this. Amazing true story and the Fort Bragg connection is chiling. Go Jim and Joan!
