“VAXXED: FROM COVERUP TO CATASTROPHE” DOCUMENTARY
In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agency’s 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism.
The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC.
Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting the anti-vax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR vaccine may cause autism. In his ongoing effort to advocate for children’s health, Wakefield directs this documentary examining the evidence behind an appalling cover-up committed by the government agency charged with protecting the health of American citizens.
Interviews with pharmaceutical insiders, doctors, politicians, and parents of vaccine-injured children reveal an alarming deception that has contributed to the skyrocketing increase of autism and potentially the most catastrophic epidemic of our lifetime.

About the Brewery Art Colony – The Brewery compound is comprised of twenty-one former warehouses – originally opened in 1903 as the Edison Electric Steam Power Plant and then as a Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery. An original chimney still stands from that era. Years later it was converted into artist lofts, now housing work studios of hundreds of artists in all disciplines, from painting, sculpture and photography to industrial design, architecture and experimental new media. There is also a restaurant ( Barbara’s ) and three commercial galleries. The Brewery studios are open to the public only twice annually for their Art Walk – a free event showcasing resident artists selling gallery-quality fine art at studio prices.

“JOURNEY THIS” ONE-WOMAN SHOW STARRING CHERAY O’NEAL
This fantastic one-woman show starts NAACP Image Award winner Cheray O’Neal. This unique play takes the audience down a humorous soul searching odyssey to forgiveness, and raises the question “is happiness a choice or a by-product?” After her last living relative dies, Journey is faced with a choice; suffer or forgive. O’Neal’s writing and thespian skills are stellar in this well-paced and developed play. Her sold out shows have been captivating audiences while they experience the journeys of the many characters she plays. “Journey This” is inspiring and controversial with an uplifting and daringly humorous message of female empowerment. O’Neal portrays both male and female characters ranging for ages 6 to 80 flawlessly. Such characters include a little girl from the 1950s, a 17-year-old boy from the streets, an 80-year-old socialite, to an erotic poet.
Hailing from New York, Cheray O’Neal’s credits cross a diverse spectrum from film to the stage. Not only is she a published author, her acting has granted opportunities in the films “H4” produced by Harry Lennix (“Blacklist”), “Honesty” by Mark Pellington (“Blindspot”), and is a proud member of The Labyrinth Theater Company of New York. She’s worked with actors Philip Seymour Hoffman, Judy Reyes, David Zayas, and Loretta Devine, as well as singers Macy Gray and Adam Lambert.
Testimony of the show: https://youtu.be/ogjarvwszJg
The show is associate produced by visual effects master Rick Alonso (“Scandal”), directed by Lenore Thomas Douglas (“Princess Diaries”), and Tovaris Wilson, choreographer of “America’s Got Talent”. Some of the proceeds will be donated to Playforpink.org and Stoller Filer Planned Parenthood of Watts.
To view and learn more about O’Neal’s work visit, www.cherayoneal.com
