Houston Film Festival Forced to Remove Vaxxed Doc After Threats from Local Gov't Official

• We Are Change

In yet another case of outside pressure against the documentary VAXXED: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, Houston's Team Worldfest chairman said in a statement that "after very threatening calls late yesterday (Monday) from high Houston Government officials we had no choice but to drop the film." Just a few weeks ago, the Tribeca Film Festival also spontaneously dropped VAXXED from its scheduled lineup.

WorldFest-Houston is the third longest-running International Film Festival in North America, and is reported to be the oldest Independent Film Festival in the world. Starting today WorldFest will screen 55-60 feature films – but not VAXXED. This is the first and only time Worldfest has received calls from public officials to removed a film in 49 years.

Hunter Todd, the chairman of WorldFest, called it, "Heavy handed censorship, to say the least… they both threatened severe action against the festival if we showed it, so it is out. Their actions would have cost us more than $100,000 in grants."

Last month, Mike Adams reported that Robert De Niro had clearly been threatened by the vaccine establishmentto pull the film from Tribeca, where journalists who had never even seen the film created media outrage to condemn it.  So what is it about this film that is causing government and media types to try so hard to stop people from watching it?
