Film Screening Documentary Film "Resistance"

The misuse of antibiotics in
factory farm animals is leading to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
(superbugs), a trend that threatens the effectiveness of antibiotic drugs
needed to save people’s lives. According to the CDC, each year in the United
States at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are
resistant to antibiotics and at least 23,000 people die as a result of these
infections. Food and Water Watch is urging our federal government to pass
legislation that would stop the misuse of medically important antibiotics on
factory farms. To kick off our campaign we’re bringing a newly released and
dynamic documentary to New Jersey entitled Resistance,
and we’d like you to join us for a free premier screening!
