Synopsis
Andrew Wakefield, who directed the controversial film 'Vaxxed: From Cover-up to Catastrophe', was discredited and stripped of his medical license for his infamous study suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease, and autism. 'The Pathological Optimist' takes us into the inner sanctum of Wakefield and his family from 2011 to 2016 as he fights for his day in court in a little known defamation case against the British Medical Journal. Wakefield attempts to clear his name as the media-appointed Father of the Anti-vaccine movement.
